If you have a bird feeder you will get birds, lots of them and every different kind. We put our bird feeders well away from the house and into the open lawn area so as not to attract vermin and since then our yard has become a bird paradise. We have a nesting box for blue birds and we get at least three nestings a year Bluebirding Basics - nests and eggs, timetable, nestboxes, predators, house sparrows, food and water. Our bluebird box is near our sunroom so we see them all year. They are very aggressive and fight off anything that comes near their box. This year has been a great year for American Gold Finches, some are already bright yellow and will be on their way north soon. We have had a Painted Bunting, just once and for only two days, but I will never forget it. This year we have a Rose Breasted Grosbeak that is not supposed to be in Florida, but it has been feeding for the past week, maybe on its way back North. The smaller finches seem to leave for the summer, but then we have the Blue Jays and all the larger birds. So, yes, we do have birds in Florida. We also have a great Wild Bird Center in a shopping center off 441 where you can get everything a bird needs or wants!!!
