HELP me cheer up my dd

[nailpolish]

last week we bought a bird table, dd1 very excited and has her breakfast at the window watching for birds

unfortunately the bird table has been there a week and only one blackbird visits each day

the seed dispenser is still bulging and dd is getting worried "where are all the birdies?"

how can i encourage them a bit?

not exactly gardening, but hope you can help

It takes a couple of weeks for the word to get round! Honest. They aren't used to your garden as a place for food yet. That blackbird will spread the word in one or two weeks.
