Do you have a water feature? We have a fountain .. flowing water .. and many birds. Try That.

Yes we do, about ten feet from the feeder. Sometimes we see birds going under the fountain to “shower”. Love the birds. Which is why we miss them when they’re gone for a while. |

Not to worry, the dragonfly population is doing fine. |
There with the snowbirds in Northeast waiting to get away from violence during the winter months

I feed the birds with three feeders I have lots of cover trees and bushes and yes I have rat baits to take care of them. Snakes and coyotes would be hard pressed to go after birds. Norway rats are everywhere all the palms and fruit trees. If you live in a new area with no shade it could be a problem. Btw I have plenty of snakes they eat other things like rodents and Lizards😎.

Planting natural plants for the hummingbirds is best. The sugar water can go bad and hurt or kill the birds. I only put out worms for the bluebirds because I have a nest for them and hope to help this species of bird. I also have a great many nectar plants for all types of bird and butterflies. They manage pretty well on their own.

Sandhill cranes, wow they are interesting. We're crossing the street. We are in no rush so just sit and wait for us. Yes, we can fly. Yes, it would be considerate we are permanent Villagers. Aside, you never see squashed ones so they are playing with Villagers |

cranes migrate to Florida. They actually use piloted driven ultralight planes that lead a flock to the southland. Been doing that for years. Also about feeding the birds, I miss Oriolos here in Florida. We fed them oranges up north, so you'd think they would love Florida. |
OP update. Have seen quite a few Sandhill Cranes on golf courses. Nice. And our bird feeder had finally been visited by many small birds - looks to be the little sparrows that hatched from broods over a month ago.
Nice. |
