Bird feeders for wild birds - hummingbirds, orioles, bluebirds

One of the easiest ways to get birds to visit your backyard is to offer them food. Wild bird enthusiasts will be delighted by the wide variety of wild bird feeders available – there are so many types, shapes and sizes from which you can choose. Some bird feeders are specific to certain types of birds, while others are built to hold a particular type of feed.

You can order humming bird feeders ranging from the small window-type where you can watch your hummers up really close; or a large capacity feeder (48 oz.) to keep a multitude of hummingbirds well fed. As you know, hummingbirds rely on nectar from flowers or humming bird feeders to give them energy. Contrary to popular belief, these feeders do not need any food coloring to attract your hummingbirds.

Squirrel proof bird feeders are more expensive than the traditional hopper feeder; however, if squirrels are a problem, you might just want to consider one. They come in a variety of styles to discourage the squirrels. The grid type has a platform that the birds can dip their beaks through to pull out seed while the squirrels cannot reach in with their (in comparison) larger paws. There is also the “flipper” type that flips the squirrels off the bird feeders. Another type actually works using an adjustable weight sensitive perch. When the heavy squirrel (or large unwanted bird) lands on the perch, the door to the bird food closes.

If you love detail, our decorative bird feeders may be the way to go. Some are so detailed that you may be tempted to keep them indoors to show off to your guests! However, rest assured that these feeders are fully functional and your birds will “look lovely” feeding from one of these.

Suet feeders are a popular way to feed many types of birds. Our suets are of the “no-melt” kind. This means that you can offer your birds suet year-round. Woodpeckers especially are attracted to suet.

There are many other types of feeders that cater to different birds. Plain or detailed, you’re sure to find a bird feeder to match your favorite bird!
