Attracting birds!

By Feng Shui, it's good luck to attract birds to your home, so I just purchased a feeder, that looks kind of like a chinese house, you know, with the red twisted rooftop. The problem is, no bird had visited it yet.,, even know I've tried bird cake, various seeds, and bread. I've tried both white and wheat breads, and what's funny, I decided to test these breads on park inhabitants, i.e. ducks. The ducks looked quite disturbed by my sudden interest in them, since we've ignored each other pretty much forever, there was a spark of reasonable doubt in their little duck eyes. I've started with the white bread, which they took for stones and quickly moved towards the lake. I followed with the wheat bread,(fresh also), just to find a mild interest from seagulls, and then 3 little ducklings who devoured the wheat bread, which I tore into tiny crumps, ignoring the white bread like the plague. What is happenning?! Have the birds been watching Dr. Phil? Am I the only person enjoying white bread lately? Anyways, maybe I should have baked the bread for the birds, I dunno. For now, I am leaving the feeder with sunflower seeds alone. Maybe, just maybe, a bird or two will find it by accident and will spread the word. My chinese house is always open for them, 24/7.
