Choosing The Right Wild Bird Feeders For Sale

By Lisa Williamson


People often want to attract wild birds to their garden. However it is important to have the right kind of feeder. There are a number of different types of wild bird feeders for sale and it is worth shopping around in order to find the appropriate one for your garden and for the kind of birds that you want to attract.

The kind of feeder you choose depends on what you want. Some people want a wide variety of species to come to their garden. In this instance they are not worried about what type of species they get. In this instance a platform is best as it allows you to simply spread seed on top.

If you do not mind the species you attract or you want to attract a lot of different types of birds then a platform is best. This is an area where you can spread seed or other items of food. Equally you may want to hang seed packets and balls of fat on the side as well in order to get the widest variety.

Another example are mesh feeders. These are best suited to species that naturally peck at trees in the wild and therefore are used to do this in order to get food. Typically these will be ones that contain nuts or balls of fat. This is ideal if you want a specific type of species in your garden and to dissuade others who do not go for this kind of food or use this kind of technique to get at them.

The reason why this is the case is because some species peck at the food. Not all birds do this and therefore it means only certain species will be able to access the food. There is also the consideration of the kind of food they eat. For example some prefer seeds while others prefer fat or dried fruit.

The material that the feeder is made from is also a factor. Wood is a popular material as people often want something aesthetically pleasing for their garden. The problem is that over time wood can get worn and damaged over time meaning you either have to spend a lot to get it repaired or replaced.

Another potential problem is the size of the holes in the feeder. You need to be sure that the birds are able to access the food inside. However if the holes are too big then you can lose a lot of seed and end up having to spend a lot more money refilling the feeder for this reason.

You can find a number of wild bird feeders available online. It is worth looking at a number of customer reviews and recommendations on social media before purchasing them. Furthermore remember to check product specifications before ordering a product to make sure that it is appropriate for your garden. With a sensible approach you will be able to choose the right feeder to suit your needs.
