Your best bet is to only supply seeds for specific birds.. To feed finches, fill hanging tube feeders with only nyjer seed (thistle). For cardinals, chickadees and nuthatches, provide safflower seed in hopper or tray feeders. Black birds won't eat this and therefore will go elsewhere.
Have your wind-chimes handy, and have one near your back door. You can see them, and the chimes noise, they do not like. Anything that moves, they do not like at all. I have pans, with a donger inside, and this is great, for the noise, bothers them. Be sure to use Nylon thread, in all your chimes, for them to last longer. Be alert, as well, as to what seeds they like. Don't use bread, or crusts, for this is a welcome for them. . believe me.!! Best wishes, J.
I have seen people keep birds out of places by hanging cd's. The sun reflection scares them off. But I think Nicole has the right idea. Don't fill the bird feeder with anything they like.
Make sure that there is no corn in the bird seeds.
