New to bird feeding!

Hi all..as a totall newbie to bird feeding i thought id join this great site to try and gain a bit more info about r feathered friends...i have a smallish garden which is pretty close to woodlands and no theres plenty of birds around..mostly crows magpies ,seen the odd bullfinch and blue tit...i have placed a bird table and some feeders in front of my patio...the table has been up for around 3 weeks now and i have yet to see a bird use it...i have a mixture of seed on it , sunflower hearts, mealworms, niger seed.etc etc... also in the palm tree a bit further down the garden i have a few feeders hanging..again no birds as of yet.....am i right in thinking it takes time for the birds to find and gain confidence in using these .or r they simply put off using them as i have a lot of crows and magpies sitting on the garden fence and walls....many thanks for any replies you may have mike
