got 7 out of 8 right!
Great, thank you so much for playing Edith!
I only got the squirrel, the sparrow and the predator bleh I am no bird expert. Uhm, actually not an expert in anything hahaha
That is ok, thanks for playing along!
You got 6 out of 8 right!I liked the test because I love the birds.
Great score, thanks for playing!
If a person decides to feed wild birds it is important to know how best to go about it. This includes some useful info!
Thanks, and there are sos many other tips I can write about later.
I got 5/8 too and I learnt a few useful things! Great post! Currenly we feed birds and we are worried because of the neighbours’ cats.
Thanks for playing Ellie. You do have to watch out for those cats.
You got 5 out of 8 right! I think I need an expert advisor for this.
I think that is a good score Albert, thanks for playing!
Yeah! That’s your great support and motivation, Carol.
I try, I guess I get an E for effort. 🙂
Hahaha… Please chin up and sing loudly, my best friend
You got 3 out of 8 right!
Not so bad
We don’t really do this (bird feed) here as much …
I see more people feeding stray cats than birds …
But great knowledge here
Thanks for playing alibb!
4/8 – Like Norman, I am at a disadvantage for this quiz by not being American. For example, the birds I feed definitely include sparrows, which certainly count as a native species! Today’s garden visitors have also included starlings, woodpigeons, collared doves, pied wagtails, blackbirds, a great tit, a wren and a robin (European version!)
Thanks for playing along.
Great quiz, Carol! I got 5 out of 8. One or two ere America-specific sso I gave them my best guess, but #6 “Which of these best describes what a hopper feeder looks like?” I misread hopper as ‘happy’ 🙂 and got it wrong!
This is how I feel with all the other quizzes on here from all over the world.
Thanks for playing.
only 3 correct for me …..
That’s ok, thank you for playing my quiz.
I got five out of eight!
Thank you for playing Michelle!
No problem! I enjoyed playing!
I am so glad you enjoyed!
I got 4 out of 8….don’t know a whole lot about birds….but great quiz!!
Thank you for playing, appreciated.
My pleasure, I had fun!
I got 7 out of 8. I wasn’t sure what a hopper feeder was. Our condo association doesn’t allow bird feeders because, in Chicago, they tend to attract rats.
This kind of feeder protects seeds fairly well against the weather and bird droppings, but if the seed within the hopper does get wet, bacteria and fungus can thrive. Hopper feeders are attractive to most feeder birds, including finches, jays, cardinals, buntings, grosbeaks, sparrows, chickadees, and titmice; they’re also squirrel magnets. Many hoppers can hold enough seed to last for several days, which can make them very convenient for people, but dangerous for birds if the seed within is allowed to get wet. Most hopper feeders are much harder to clean than tray feeders. Hopper feeders can be mounted on a pole or suspended. Again, a squirrel baffle is important if you don’t want to feed them.
6/8, so LaJenna beat me. Next time, LaJenna. Next time…
Thanks for playing Alex, good score.
