While Mourning Doves (Zenaida macroura) spend an inordinate amount of time eating Niger seed on the ground in my backyard, they will resort to eating from suspended feeder trays, if the need arises. They are such plump birds considering the tiny Niger seeds they eat, and gather those tiny seeds quickly but digest them later while roosting. They exist year-around in southern Canada and in the US from coast-to-coast, but some do winter in southern Mexico and Central America.
Please comment if you wish.
