Often the first birds at a new feeder are the chickadees. These birds are trusting in nature and seem comfortable around human activity.
Unlike the the House Sparrow whose "comfort Zone" may be near the back fence, the feeders for chickadees, nuthatches and assorted relatives can be very close to your house and viewing windows.

A hopper feeder is the ideal way to offer Mother Nature's Chickadee Mix or Premium Oil Sunflowers. Mother Nature's Songbird Mix is also an excellent selection for use in the Chickadee Feeder. The triple cleaned seed and the unique Chickadee Feeder enable these feeder friends to fully utilize the "comfort zone" you have created just for them. |

Chickadees are cheerful little birds that, with patience, may be encouraged to take food right out of your hand. One of the
common species of chickadees is the Black-capped Chickadee, a small gray bird with a broad white face mask separating a dark crown and throat.

Nuthatches are recognizable as birds that descend tree trunks head first. The White-breasted Nuthatch is known by its black cap and beady black eye on a white face. The Red-breasted Nuthatch has a broad black line through the eye and a white line above it. The Pygmy Nuthatch (pictured) has blue-gray upper parts and a gray-brown crown.
