I have seen a few cardinals, not often, but on occasion they will stop by my yard. What can I do to keep them around longer and for the cardinals to come around more often?

Are cardinals a bird that migrates? I see them occasionally all year round, is this normal for the cardinal?

Well I think that cardinals like rose bushes anyway. I moved to a house that has lots of rose bushes and it seems we also have lots of cardinals. Is this a coincidence or can you attract cardinals by having lots of roses?

Someone maybe pulling my leg here but I was told to put a salt block out and the finches would come. Does this make any kind of sense to anyone? If it does will it attract other birds too?

I so enjoy watching the finches and would love even more to come to my backyard. If I plant some sunflowers will that make the finches happy and get more to show up?

Don't get me wrong my wife and I love all the finches in our yard but in particular we like the gold finches. What I did was turn one of my finch feeders upside down so the perch was above the hole and now the only finches that seem to feed on it is the goldfinches. Not sure why it works but it does.

I let some lettuce go to seed last year and it was a backyard bird bonanza. The birds flocked to it, we especially saw a lot of finches.

Does anyone know of anything different that finches like to eat that I could put out for them? I currently put out niger seed, millet, and lots of sunflower seeds.

I have never seen any other bird except the nuthatch go down a tree trunk head first. Has anyone else ever seen a bird do this? Or are our nuthatches just nutty?

A friend of mine, who lives many states away, says he can get nuthatches to eat out of his hand. He recommends nuts, especially the black walnut. Is he pulling my leg or can you really train them to do this?
