I did not get squirrels. Odd. Doves liked the black oil sunflower seeds on the ground or stand. Sparrows I had square feeders hanging on trees. Finches,mocking bird,etc liked the hanging log. Wood peckers trees or square feeders. I used to have a cool video of a woodpecker mom feeding her baby on a tree. I'll try to find itwe have a squirrel around it will take overmight buy some seed still to trty feeding the mourning doves i see around in the back if not it will be humming bird feeders
