Bird Feeders quite  successfully attract birds to you, just about were ever you may hang them.  They bring birds equally well hanging on a balcony as they do hanging in a garden, there are many types of bird feeders specially adapted for a specific purpose, there is also the homemade bird feeder that will work equally well.

Suet Bird feeders are used for bringing woodpeckers, also they are considered winter feeders, bringing a little fat building for these tiny avians in the colder months.

Squirrel proof bird feeders like there name suggests, are designed to keep the cute critters from eating all the bird seed and scaring the birds away not forgetting those crafty racoons some bird feeders need to be racoon proof too.  Now no squirrel proof bird feeder is one hundred percent infallible, sometimes those little squirrels can interupt your bird watching taking over the feeder.

Window bird feeders are an excellent way of getting a close up view of our feathered friends, as they will be right up in front of your nose.  I recommend hanging a Sheer between you and the window, to avoid startling the flighty fellows.

Hummingbird feeders are specially designed for the narrow beaked nectar drinking birds, quite different that a seed holding feeder.  humming birds will be attracted to  the feeders in the summertime, depending on where you live as some areas do not allow bird feeders to be hung in the summer as they can attract more than birds.

There are other ways to bring the birds to you, bird houses are often a good enticement hung in a good spot, you can get to watch them hoping in and out of the bird house feeding their young.  A passing flocks of birds may stop at a bird bath to bath, or feast on the seeds falling from plants and grasses in your garden, what ever attractants you chose to use to bring the birds to the yard there will be many hours of enjoyment.
