"Honeyguides fly ahead of hunters and point out beehives which the hunters raid, leaving wax for the birds to eat."

Probably, but so will the bugs.

You're better off putting down some seed for them.

 

 

^ The birds on my block like that stuff. 

Pick a 1m x 1m up to 3m x 3m patch of concrete and put the food there every day, in the same place.

They'll figure it out in less than a week.

My birds even came up to my patio door and knocked when I was late with their food <3

Yes.

That's why you pick a specific place and put the food there every time.

Back when they were peeping at my patio door, there was too much birdpoop around.

So when I moved, I started feeding my new birds about 5m away from the house.

We get rain at least twice/ week, tho. Not sure how that would work in a place that doesn't.

The rain constantly washes the poop away here.
