Have you put a bird feeder received as a Christmas gift out and have yet to see a single feathered friend visit? There could be a number of reasons for this, most obviously that it is new. Birds are more likely to visit a new feeder during the colder months - January to March in most regions - but it may take several weeks before the birds are comfortable with a new feeder. Other factors are where you placed the feeder and the type of food provided. Feeders placed near shrubbery or too close to the ground do not provide enough of a comfort zone, as birds will fear attacks from predators. Good quality food is also key. Buy the best and nature will take care of the rest.
