    Am wanting to hang my bird feeder in hopes of getting a better look at all the beautiful birds we see in the sky & in the trees by our casa. In looking @ all the kinds available in the stores, I’m lost as to which kind to buy. Any suggestions?

    Put out fruit peels, bananas, pineapple etc., pieces that may otherwise be discarded.

    The most colorful birds are the Tanagers and they love bananas. We impail the bananas on a horizontal board that has a few nails sticking up and mounted on the side of a tree or a top a fence. Use the ones that become over ripe that no one will eat. Peel a small section of the skin away and put the bananas with the meat up. This set up will also attract Honeycreepers, Motmots and others. You can watch from a comfy chair placed about 20 feet away. No need to buy bird seed.
