Comparing Wild Bird Feeders For Sale

By Marissa Velazquez


Having birds in your garden can make it feel more relaxing. However some types respond to different types of food and feeding methods. For example if you want wild birds in your garden then it is worth finding the right wild bird feeders for sale in order to attract them and feed them properly.

Generally people assume that most birds fly to warmer climates during the winter months. However this is not always the case. Some stay around and may sometimes struggle to get food from the local environment. Therefore you may wish to get a feeder installed to help them get the food they need.

The type you choose will largely depend on the type you are trying to attract. The ones you choose may be targeted towards one specific species or a large amount. This will vary depending on the type of feeder you use and the type of feed you use to attract different species.

Tubes work better for smaller species. They find it easier to access the feed in a way that larger birds cannot as they are designed for their smaller beaks. It is ideally suited for single types of seed. The downside of this is that you are likely to only attract one type of smaller species so you need to consider whether or not you want to only try to attract smaller birds.

A ground feeder is another option. This is better than simply throwing seed on the ground as the wind is not going to blow it away and offers a bit more protection and shelter. This protection is also good to warn off predators. Cutting a hole can also drain water away from it. However it is advisable to spread feed on the ground in a couple of other locations as well in order to get the broadest range of species.

Equally ground based feed areas can work well too. These work more effectively than simply throwing seed on the ground because it protects the feed from predators and adverse weather conditions. However you may wish to put some feed on the ground in other locations as well to attract a broader range of species.

Feeders come in a variety of sizes and materials. Ideally you want to choose products that are sturdy and can withstand adverse weather conditions. It is also worth checking to see how easy they are to clean and to replace older scraps and seeds with new feed on a regular basis. As well as keeping them looking in the best possible condition this will help to ensure the birds get the best quality food.

There are various ways to purchase wild bird feeders for sale. You can purchase them from high street retailers, online stores or private sellers creating their own crafted products. Wherever you get them from you need to be sure the people you are buying them from are knowledgeable and can help you find the appropriate one for your garden and the birds you are trying to attract. Look online to find out more and to compare the different types available.
