Woodpecker bird feeders are a great way to attract woodpeckers to your yard.
Woodpeckers are a great bird to have in your yard because they eat insects
and bugs that are in and on your trees as well as your garden. A woodpecker
will eat grasshoppers, flies, wasps, beetles, grubs and can eat thousands of
carpenter ants a day.
A great way to keep these pecking birds in your yard is to offer them their
own woodpecker bird feeder. The bird feeder that is best suited for a
woodpecker is a suet bird feeder. Suet cakes are available in a variety of
styles from peanut, seed, berry and raisin flavors. Another favorite of
woodpeckers and a great woodpecker feeder would be a perching bird feeder.
This type of perching bird feeder would include a platform bird feeder. It
is important that there is lots of perching space on your bird feeder for
the woodpecker. On your platform woodpecker bird feeder be sure to include
woodpeckers’ favorite seed, black oil sunflower. Some woodpeckers will come
to your platform bird feeder if you have cracked corn or grapes, raisins and
apples.
Woodpeckers and other flickers also enjoy drinking sweet nectar, just like
orioles and humming birds. You can place a hummingbird feeder or an oriole
nectar bird feeder in your yard as a treat to the woodpeckers that you have
attracted. With a humming bird feeder, or a nectar feeder make sure that the
feeding holes are large enough for the woodpeckers beak.
There are many different varieties of woodpeckers, as well as different
sizes. The most common type of woodpecker you are to seed at your woodpecker
feeder would be the Common Flicker, Red-headed Woodpecker and the
Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. If you are lucky you may even attract a Pileated
Woodpecker to your woodpecker feeder. These are only a few types of
woodpeckers there are at least 10 different types of woodpeckers that you
could attract to your backyard wild bird feeding station.
