Has anybody had a mockingbird visit a feeder? If so, what did you feed them?
I thought I'd try cranberries in the suet for the mockingbird when I saw it in the yard, in case it was attracted to the berries. No mockingbird, but the squirrels and the juncos loved the suet with cranberries; perhaps it was the included millet (next time I'll read the ingredients before I buy) that attracted the juncos.
The squirrels love my plain suet. The first downies loved it too, but after a while all that happened is a pair chased each other around the feeder support tree. Reminded me of the 2 cats of Kilkenny.
The juncos & the house finches spill the finch seed from my squirrel-proof feeder, but I do get mourning doves from it, otherwise rare in my yard.
