A lot of us have bird feeders in the yard. A lot of us also like to take pictures of visitors to the feeders. An easy way to improve those pictures is to attach a natural looking perch on or near to the feeder. In the following examples I used zip ties to attach branches from tree trimmings to posts holding the feeders so the birds would have a resting place while waiting their turn at sun flower seeds.
Just crop the feeder out of the picture and . . .
it looks like you captured your shot in the wild!
Lather, rinse and repeat!
Edit to add: Pay attention to the background when you hang the feeder or place your camera. Try to keep the background dark, or at least darker than the light on the feeder.
