Consider hawks, cats, and even windows can cause a threat because birds can’t see glass. When getting a bird feeder there are a wide variety to choose from. There are tube bird feeders that cost 20 up to 80 dollars. For bird seed, there is a kind that has a variety of seed that attracts different kinds of birds instead of one kind of bird.
