The birds are barely visible. One thing you could try, if you don't have a lens with a larger aperture, is moving the feeder or changing your position so that you have a smoother background. More distance = more blur. Maybe you can find a spot where the background is sky (right between two trees).

This is a good idea. I have a 300mm f/6.3 mirror lens and if I set up the background right it could be very interesting.

I suppose I could do a better job of figuring out his (the bird's) schedule for using that feeder and just hang out with a sandwich and a cold one in one hand an a remote in the other.
