Transcript

Alright. The number one question I get asked in my dm's and comments is how do you get birds in your backyard? This is hummingbird nectar, electro better, and it is electric. It's super easy. Just pour it in. They'll tear it up. I ain't sponsored by any of these companies. Suet nuggets. Birds love these, especially my red belly woodpeckers. These tier, these bad, I've never even tried one. Medium viscosity, mild tannins. Suet cakes. I get the cheap suet cakes. I get a pack of 10 on Amazon. I put them in the refrigerator. Best a lot longer in their packaging. In case you're wondering, it's a wonderful suet feeder because the birds can rest their tail, and you will get bigger birds. I've had summer tanagers hit this suet feeder. Unbelievable. Bird seed. One of the important things here is there's none of those copper b best filler. You do not want that. That's what the companies put in the bags to make them a little fuller. Safflower seed right no, this time of year, the birds seem to really, really like this. This is just one type of seed tier, my favorite.
