Birds Rejecting Training

I cant get them to perch on the damn branches.

Nice shots - they are nice and sharp and you have a catch light in the eyes. Maybe if you stuck some food on the branches? :mrgreen:

Nice shots, how far from the table are the branches ? I'm just guessing but if they were too close maybe they didn't bother landing on them and just went from where they were perched right to the food ?

 

[Braineack]

yeah, i make it too easy for them to just stand there.

Nice shots!! Place the perches directly over the feed tray maybe 6 to 8 inches above. Try to match the size of the bird with the perch. Hope that helps.

the baiting in the pics ruins the images....we all feed our BY birds but try to make the images look natural

what I need is a slingshot for fish...

 

[BillM]

A BIG slingshot !!!!!

Okay changed my setup and I got pretty immediate results.

Too bad today is a bit dreary/overcast out; cant wait for the greens to start coming back...

Okay, now you're talking. These are very nice!

They are all very nice shots, but these two are my favorites, especially the last on the branch. Nice job, B!

 

[manicmike]

Nice job. How'd you finally get them to land on the branches?

 

[Braineack]

Moved the regular feeders over so they were forced to come over and tried out a new branch that hangs over the plate of food I put out.

New set up is better. Now lets see landing shots.
