We noticed the chickadees were picking through the seed we put out and eating only the black sunflower seeds.... hmmm. Wouldn't think beggars would be choosers.... but we sprung for a bag of the good stuff and now they are enjoying quite the buffet line outside my window.
They will wait in the tree branches and then fly down one at a time to grab a seed. They are less graceful than I expected and land in the pan with a thump... sometimes bumping into the window first. It sounds like someone is tossing birds into the seed.

I know, ours are picky also. But fun to watch. The only problem is the cats think we are feeding the birds for them. hugs mom
I think we have the same picky birds. We thought they were flinging the seed to the ground to make it softer to eat. Perhaps we need to upgrade the feed as well.
