I like the graphic they linked showing the common birds and who wins in a competition for the feeder. I notice the blue Jay’s and woodpeckers at my feeder often scare everything else away.

Looks like planting natives and providing appropriate sustenance for native species is the takeaway from this. Trying to avoid feeding the invasives that outcompete native birds.

Just like I will not feed a wild child. I will not feed a wild bird without manners at the table.
