Bird Food Suet

Why are the birds no longer coming to the feeder?
I moved about 2 years ago and started feeding the birds shortly after that. I had a nice mixture of birds… chickadees, nuthatches, sparrows, juncos, blue jays, cardinals, gold finches (lots of them). So this summer I increased the number of bird feeders and types of food that I offer… thistle, black oil and mixed (each in their separate feeder). I also have suet & a ’suet ball’ from the meat department out there.
I’ve always had a bunch of birds and now… I’m lucky if I see a couple of nuthatches and woodpeckers a day! What in the heck happened? Any ideas and/or suggestions for what I should do?
YES birds do fly South… BUT the birds that I specifically mentioned do not leave Pennsylvania for the winter! I fed these birds last winter and this summer!
I recommend buying some safflower seed for cardinals, blue jays, nuthatches, grosbeaks, and chickadees. These wildbirds enjoy eating safflower seeds and will keep returning to your feeder for food. I always see them at my birdfeeder. Also, leave a water source out for the wildbirds so they can drink and bathe. Wildbirds do need water in the winter just like they do the rest of the year.
Seed and suet feeders needed. Bird Houses too.
