Frequently Asked Questions
Dark-eyed Juncos mainly eat seeds from conifer trees, especially pine, spruce, and fir trees. They can also visit backyard feeders for sunflower seeds and other larger seeds. A good quality seed blend with plenty of sunflower seed can give them an additional food source when natural food is harder to find.
Dark-eyed Juncos have strong bills designed for opening conifer cones, so a strong tube or hopper feeder is a good choice. Choose a feeder with enough room for larger birds to perch comfortably. Keeping the feeder near mature trees can also make your yard more appealing because crossbills like having nearby places to perch.
Offering fresh sunflower seed is a good place to start, They also love millet. Dark-eyed Juncos are fall and winder visitors because their movements often depend on where they can find enough seeds. If they are not visiting regularly, it does not necessarily mean your feeder is the problem. They may simply be finding plenty of natural food elsewhere.
