Human: I put a bird feeder in the yard, but birds have not found it yet. How do I help them find it?

Assistant: How long has the feeder been in place?  Birds need to see it from their roosts (nests, trees, buildings) in order to understand it’s a source of food.  They also need to be able to see it from their flights.

Assistant: Do you have a birdseed mix at home? You can put the bag of seed in the feeder, and then birds will find it more easily.
