If i don't feed the birds at all, will they eat more weed seeds and
more caterpillar high up in the tree?

I just provide water, and from what i observe, the birds nimble at the
weeds all the time.

I think putting bird feeders attracts more birds to your area. You'll often
see them perch in trees for a bit and check out the bird feeder, to make
sure the coast is clear. The more birds in your yard, the more likely they
are to eat a few bugs on their way to the buffet.
