How Birds Got Their UV Vision
By Tanya Lewis February 11, 2013
See: https://www.livescience.com/26994-how-birds-uv-vision.html
I'm sure birds have a natural instinct for spotting foods that are part of their natural diet. Their sensory systems are far more keen than ours and fine-tuned for survival, like robins hearing worms in the ground.
Also, I've read many times that birds are far more likely to hang around our feeders when there are safe zones nearby such as trees and bushes where they can hide and feel secure. There are some things that keep them away from my feeders such as stray animals and loud noises in the area.
