The jay and starling are the bullies of the feeders. They are aggressive birds and will scare other birds away. Mourning doves are also common in Oregon. They are related to the domestic pigeon and look very similar to them. When they fly, the wings of a mourning dove whistle.
Chickadees are another common bird in Oregon, and are easily attracted to feeders and bird houses.
They are small birds and can nest in very small bird houses. The smallest bird, Humming birds , are a favorite visitor to backyards. Instead of seeds, humming birds prefer the sweet taste of sugar water.
