Sorry about the oddly formatted text in my original message.

i have one tree just 5 foot or so from my kitchen window that i put tube feeders or upside down feeders or cage feeders hummingbirds and orioles necter feeders. they don't attract a lot of the bigger birds as they are are harder for the blackbirds and starlings and cowbirds ect. to hang on.
another tree about 40 foot from the window i hang platform and hopper and large mesh feeders on and fill it with chicken feed which is mostly grains and is half the price of mixed bird seed. the big birds mostly go to them and the doves and ground feeders cleanup on the ground under those feeders.
i do get some of the trash birds trying to use the closeup feeders but they are hard to perch on get seed from so they are mainly used by the smaller birds

The last couple years I had Bluebirds nesting in snags in the back yard (both snags have since fallen over). I cut way down on the food in the feeders, which I usually do anyway in the summer, because I didn't want to attract House Sparrows. Would put out a little BOSS, but only put out the home-made suet nuggets if the Bluebirds wanted some.

This Spring, I had a pair of Baltimore Orioles nesting in a large Pin Oak right above the feeders. Did the same thing, cut down on the food in the feeders, because the Orioles were very territorial about the tree. They were especially aggressive towards Blue Jays, Grackles, and Crows so I stopped throwing any tidbits on the ground (like old corn chips, which the Jays and Crows like).

So I would favor the security of the nesting birds. During the summer and fall, there are normally abundant natural sources of food, so feeders are not critical. Birds eat a lot of insects and feed their young insects, so they are unlikely to starve if you aren't feeding them.

We have TRES/Blues and Dees nesting in the yard every summer, closest box is probably about 70 feet from the deck where our bird feeders are. I have never cut back on the feeders in the summer but I don't put out trash seed (millet) that attracts HOSP either. I do put out normal suet and suet dough, BOSS, sunflower hearts, nyjer and peanuts for the BlueJays oh and jelly for the Orioles. I've really never seen any fuss with the TRES and the larger birds at the feeders. I do shoot any HOSP or Starling that comes in to feed but we really don't get many HOSP here.
