Many of their visits will be to carry peanuts off and cache them for a later meal. We offer a variety of bird feeders that allow the birds to pull the peanuts from the feeder, and they can cling anywhere they want.
Imagine a wood-free bird feeder that actually looks like wood! The Classic has curved ends so you can see birds feeding on both sides at the same time.
Perch drains allow seed to drop out of the feeder for ground-feeding birds to eat, and angled perches let empty seed hulls be blown away by the wind. The EcoTough Classic Feeder can be hung, but it does not come with the hanging wire to do so. We recommend that this feeder be pole mounted due to its weight 7 lbs unfilled and size.
If a tree were to hold this feeder, it would have to be a very sturdy tree. EcoTough feeders and houses are environmentally friendly, high quality products that are made from recycled plastic milk jugs.
These feeders and houses prevent used milk jugs from making their way into our landfills. Easy to fill with shelled peanuts and backed with a lifetime guarantee, this feeder has antimicrobial product protection embedded in powder coating on the mesh metal tube and all black powder coated metal components as well as the plastic seed diverter.
And now, it features a removable base, making it easier to clean. Peanuts are a high-energy food that attract birds, such as woodpeckers, titmice, nuthatches, chickadees, jays and more. EcoClean products feature a patented technology that inhibits the surface growth of damaging bacteria, mold and other microbes. Some birds will take turns eating at a bird feeder. Typically, they will wait out of view in a nearby tree or bush.
Our decorative perch allows birds to remain in sight while they wait to eat. It can also be used to hang additional lightweight feeders. View Advanced Pole System Brochure. Latin: Poecile rufescens.

Very similar to the Black-capped Chickadee, this bird replaces it in the southeastern states. Living in milder climates, it has been reported to be less of a visitor to bird feeders, but it does come into suburban yards for sunflower seeds. Where the ranges of Black-capped and Carolina chickadees come together, they often interbreed. In these contact zones, they also can learn to imitate each other's songs -- causing great confusion for birdwatchers.

Parus carolinensis Carolina chickadee Facebook. Geographic Range Poecile carolinensis is native to the American Southeast, and is divided into four races: P. Breeding season Mating begins in February and continues into April.
Range eggs per season 3 to 10 Average eggs per season 5. The rest of the year, birds may sometimes sleep in sheltered branches; usually they sleep in cavities, some which they excavated, others which may be natural or excavated by woodpeckers. Carolina Chickadees sleep individually, but from night to night different members of a flock may sleep in the same cavity.
Carolina Chickadees actively defend an individual space, keeping at least 2. At feeders, each bird typically takes a seed and carries it to a branch somewhat isolated from other chickadees to eat. During migration and winter, other species associate with Carolina Chickadees, which are found with other species about 50 percent of the time. Tufted Titmice, which are dominant over them, are the most common flock associates.
Black-capped Chickadees, Ruby-crowned and Golden-crowned kinglets, Red-breasted, White-breasted and Brown-headed nuthatches, Brown Creepers, and Downy and Hairy woodpeckers tend to gravitate to these flocks, which are led by the Carolina Chickadees, Tufted Titmice, or both.
Both members of a pair excavate a cavity or choose a cavity or nest box. The female builds the nest base with moss and sometimes strips of bark. This tiny, approachable bird has a short neck and large head, giving it a distinctive spherical body shape.
