See Song Bird Feeder, Feeding Birds, and Bird/Fruit Chart.
 

Sunflower seeds are a premium feed as they are a high energy and nutritious food source, leave less waste than some other seeds and attract popular bird species including Finches,  Chickadees,  Nuthatches and Titmice.  Finches have bills adapted for cracking seeds.  Chickadees and Nuthatches snatch seeds and fly to another perch where they peck the seeds open while holding them with their feet.

Raise hinged roof and pour the bird seed in the top.  Securely suspend feeder where predators cannot sneak up on feeding birds and where it can be easily reached for safe refilling.
