To attract a variety of birds to your yard, set up several different feeders. Low platforms or ground feeding will bring in juncos, doves and sparrows. Higher platform feeders with sunflower seeds will attract cardinals, finches and chickadees. Hanging feeders will keep you entertained with the antics of woodpeckers and nuthatches. If you don’t want to build or buy a feeder, simply spread your seed on the ground or on a deck. mdc.mo.gov
