Choosing A Bird Feeder

Start With The Food You Want To Offer

The right bird feeder depends on the food you want to use, the birds visiting your garden and how you prefer to manage your feeding area.

Seed, peanuts, niger seed, suet and soft foods all benefit from feeders suited to the food being offered. Start there, then choose a design that fits your garden and the birds you see.

Feed Birds Properly

The Feeder Is Only Part Of The Routine

Whatever feeder you choose, good feeding habits still count. Offer manageable amounts, keep food fresh and dry, remove uneaten food and clean feeding equipment regularly.

Keep watching the birds and the feeding area. If food is lingering, becoming damp or the conditions change, adjust the amount or feeding routine.

Choose a position where birds can access the feeder and where you can inspect, refill and clean it easily. Watch how birds use the location and move or adjust the feeding point if it is not working well.

What should I do with a bird feeder in wet weather?

Check feeders regularly during wet conditions. Remove food that becomes damp or spoiled, clean the feeder when needed and allow it to dry before adding fresh food.
