Read more Which Wild Bird Feeder is Right for You? A Range of Styles We sell a comprehensive range of wild bird feeders, as well as attachable feeder trays, wooden feeding stations, and boxed wooden bird feeding tables. Our bird feeders are available in a choice of three styles: Flip Top, Green Metal, and Hammertone. All of our hanging feeders can be hung from perches or feeding stations, or from more natural positions such as tree branches. See the descriptions of each type to decide which feeder would be best for you. Flip Top Our range of Flip Top feeders are made of a durable green plastic, with either powder-coated carbon wire cages or polycarbonate tubing, depending on the style. Their flip top lids make them easy to fill: simply flip the lid open, put in the seed or feed that you are using, and then clip the lid closed again. Our Superior Flip Top feeders (available for seed or peanuts) have a removable base and perches, making them even easier to keep clean. Green Metal Our Green Metal feeders are made of heavy duty cast metal, with either tough steel mesh, metal cage, or polycarbonate tubing depending on the style. To fill, flip up and pivot the lid, then flip back into place when finished. The green colour of the metal means they blend nicely into the colours of a garden, attracting a wide range of different bird species, and their cast metal base and lid makes them extremely durable and able to withstand harsh weather. Hammertone Our Hammertone range of feeders are made from a hammered-effect heavy duty cast lid and base, with either tough steel mesh, metal cage or polycarbonate casing, depending on the style. Like our Green Metal feeders they are designed to withstand the elements, and are also filled via a lift-and-pivot lid. The grey hammered metal effect means that this range will provide a stylish and modern touch to your garden, but will still attract as many birds as our Green Metal or Flip Top ranges.

Bird feeders can be hung in a number of locations, however it is best to be mindful that birds needs somewhere safe if they are going to settle and eat. We would recommend hanging your feeders at least 5 feet (1.5m) from the ground, and preferably away from fences or hedges where cats or other predators might be hiding. A nearby water source, such as a bird bath or a shallow container of fresh water, can also help attract birds to your feeders. And we would always recommend putting them in view of a window - that way you can enjoy watching any feathered friends who visit your garden! How often should I clean my bird feeders? When using bird feeders or feeding stations, there is a marginally increased risk of birds spreading diseases. We recommend cleaning and disinfecting your bird feeders regularly to minimise the risk of infection, preferably every 2 weeks. To clean your feeders, you should first dispose of any remaining feed inside, as this cannot be reused. Wearing rubber gloves, thoroughly clean your feeder in hot soapy water, then rinse under an outside tap and leave to dry completely before reusing. For extra protection, spray your feeder with a veterinary disinfectant, rinse and dry again before use. How often do I need to refill my feeders? You will find your bird feeders empty more quickly or slowly depending on a number of factors, including what time of year it is, which birds are common in your area, and whether or not other people locally are also putting out wild bird food. Ideally you should refill your bird feeders as soon as they are empty, as wild birds learn where safe food sources are and return to them when they next need to feed. Be particularly mindful during cold months that your feeders may empty more quickly, as birds rely on feeders when other food sources are unavailable. How can I prevent squirrels from getting at my feeders? Many people who use wild bird feeders experience persistent problems with squirrels and other rodents being attracted to the food, often scaring away any birds you are hoping to attract. This can be a very hard problem to overcome, as squirrels are known for being particularly persistent and can launch themselves long distances from trees or other vantage points. If possible, try to position your feeder at least 5 feet from the ground and at least 10-15 feet from any trees or fences. Pole-mounted feeders can also offer more protection than those hanging from tables or trees.
