Hamwild said:I think it can take up to a couple weeks tbh! It took a long time to see anyone on the suet feeder.

I had to take our feeders down for a few days after we had a hawk attack and even though they've been up for over two years, it took a few days for everyone to come back once I put them back up.

But, I think when I first put them up, it took a good week or so to see a bird. The squirrels were destroying the feeder before thebirds saw it, lol.


Whew, that's a relief! I thought the birds were just not fans of me. I assumed I was going to have another mark on the "flop" list. Are hawks a problem for bird feeders? I know they hunt the squirrels and chipmunks involved, but do they go after the birds too? I constantly hear hawks around our house.
Maybe we should get a second opinion...
