You may want to offer other seeds to the bully birds. Bully birds are most attracted to inexpensive foods such as cracked corn, millet, milo, wheat, and sunflower seeds. Switching to more specialized foods such as safflower seeds for cardinals, Nyjer for finches, jelly for orioles, and fruits for songbirds will still provide a bountiful buffet without encouraging bullies to empty every feeder. Provide an Easy Area for the bully birds: If you don't want to completely discourage bully birds but want them to feed in harmony with other birds, offering an area where bullies are welcome can help balance the needs of all your guests. Create a ground or tray feeding station with bullies' favorite foods and they may leave other feeders alone in favor of an easy meal. Even while you take steps to discourage bully birds at your feeders, remember that none of a bully's actions are deliberately malicious; their behavior is only meant to help them survive. By taking simple steps to discourage bully birds, it is possible to safely urge them to move along, letting you enjoy a wider range of birds that will appreciate the buffet you provide.
