There are a lot of different bird species and they all have different preferences when it comes to food. Some like to eat insects, while others eat nuts, and some eat seeds. Birds, especially in urban and more developed areas, may find it harder to find natural food on their own. Having a bird feeder and supplemental food that helps birds find nutritional content, is a great way to provide more nutritional food variety for birds. It also gives you greater control over which birds come to your feeder.
