I would like to attracted buntings (painted and indigo) to my yard. I saw a painted female briefly last year.

The yard is planted almost exclusively in natives with lots of shrubs and cover. Also, a mister and birdbath have been installed.

Are feeders effective? If so, which ones work best? Are there feeders that exclude pigeons and collared doves? What food works best?

Thanks,

Jeff
