Wild Bird Feeder

A wild bird feeder is a device that specializes in providing food to wild birds.

Type:

Hanging feeders

This type of feeder usually has a container for bird food, and the container has several small holes or troughs through which the bird can peck at food. It is usually hung from tree branches, balconies, etc., by hooks or ropes. For example, the common plastic hanging feeder is lightweight and affordable, and is suitable for filling a variety of cereal-based bird food, such as millet and barnyard seeds.

Tray feeder

It is a shallow tray shaped feeder, and its advantage is that it can hold a large number of types of food, including bird food, fruit, bread crumbs, etc. Tray feeders are more suitable for placing on the ground or on low platforms, and some larger birds that are not used to foraging in tight spaces, such as magpies and crows, may prefer this type of feeder.

Window sill feeder

Specially designed to be mounted on windows, allowing people to get a closer look at birds feeding. It usually comes with suction cups or clips that can be securely attached to the window glass or window frame. The windowsill feeders are made of plastic, wood, etc., and some also have rain shelters, which can protect the birds from rain to a certain extent.
