peanut splits or sunflower seeds. Depending on the seeds offered, you will attract
woodpeckers, Northern cardinals, black-capped chickadees, nuthatches, titmice, grosbeak,

Not all birds eat seeds. To attract those that eat fruit and insects (bluebirds, mockingbirds, robins, and even warblers and thrushes) try mealworms, berries or other fruit, and suet. Many seed eating birds like woodpeckers and chickadees also enjoy fruit and bugs, too. |

![]() The innovative Monitor Feeder
by GoodPlanet is designed for Eastern Bluebirds, but appeals to a variety of small birds.
It has 3 main components: a roof, a base, & feeding tray. A mounting pole is also
required (see options below). A flat roof is ideal for landing, perching
& surveying the scene. The base holds a feeding tray with a
polycarbonate plastic insert which ideal for offering meal worms. The smooth, sturdy
insert has steep sides to keep live worms inside, and is also great for offering fruit,
suet dough, shelled seeds and other treats for bluebirds. The base can be raised and
lowered with the simple thumbscrew to adjust the distance between roof and feeding tray -
which determines the size of bird that can access the feeder. The "open
position" (left) makes food source visible - ideal to attract newcomers or
for feeding a variety of birds. When the space is reduced, or "closed"
some small birds such as Bluebirds are able to enter but it's too narrow for larger
species. Fill the tray with meal worms, berries, & bluebird treats. Mounting plates - for standard 1" diameter tubular pole - are included for roof and tray. Roof: 9¼" x 9¼"; tray: 8½" x 8½" x 2 5/8" #GPBBM $28.95 (related: pole options below; bluebird reference; bluebird nesting boxes) |

Dorothy's
Cardinal Feeder by Droll YankeesWe met Dorothy, widow of the inventor of all things Droll Yankees, Peter Kilham, at the BirdWatch America show in Atlanta as they were introducing this new feeder. Since this feeder was Dorothy's idea, she was asking for feedback as to what to name it. Show attendants dropped name suggestions into a little box, and that's how this feeder came to be known as Dorothy's Cardinal Feeder. We think it is not only a great feeder for cardinals, but also for bluebirds, and others, and it's backed by Droll's awesome lifetime warranty. 15" diameter x 20" tall. May be hung or pole mounted, and adjustable weather dome keeps out bigger birds (if desired), and inclement weather. $68.50 |

Mounting Tip: to ensure your suctions cups stay put, replace them every 6-months. Soak new cups in hot water 5-minutes and dry, clean surface where suction cup will be placed. Rub the dish of the cup with your thumb for 10 to 20 seconds (to apply a thin coat of natural oil from skin on the suction cup).
