Hi there!  I'm a newcomer to all this but I have a new house and
would like to have some bird neighbors.  I've had trouble this spring
with a lot of squirrels gobbling all my bird food before the birds
get any.  So:

           1) What kind of feeder is suggested to keep the squirrels away?
 
           2) What kind of birdhouse is suggested and what month do the
               birds start using it?  I'd really like to have cardinals
               or bluebirds use my birdhouse and there are quite a few
               of these birds in my neighborhood.

           3) Are certain types of feed better than others.

I recognize that these questions have been answered in the past and
apologize for duplication.  Thanx A Lot!
