How long does it take birds to find a feeder?

I moved into a new house. There are trees in the subdivision, but the closest are a block or so away. I have set out a bird feeder about a week ago, but I have not seen any activity.

I have seen birds in the subdivision. However, the nearest trees to me are a block or two away. I have seen a lot of dogs, but no cats.
I just did some research. One site says it can take up to two weeks or even as long as two to three months.
I had a dream a night or two ago that I saw birds at my feeder. 🤠

@ProfessorPlum77 squirrels probably find it first

@Lilnonames I have not seen any squirrels up here, yet.
