Wild Bird Feeders

There is a variety of different types of bird feeders and ways in which you can fird the wild birds.

A bird seed feeder is suitable for things such as sunflower seeds, sunflower hearts, huskfree wild bird food, original wild bird food, premium wild bird food, and feeder seeds.

The design of this type of bird feeder ensures that all of the above bird foods will flow through the bird feeder . Sizes can range from two port right up to a 12 port bird seed feeder.

Tube feeders are used by many types of wild birds including Greenfinch, Goldfinch, Chaffinch, Siskin, House sparrow, Tree sparrow, Blue Tit, Great Tit and Coal Tit.

A niger bird seed feeder is similar to the seed feeder in that the seed flows down the tube as the birds take the food. The niger bird seed feeder is just for niger seed which is smaller in size and flows a lot easier than regular wild bird seed so the holes in the tube are very small but big enough for the birds to take the seed from. Goldfinches are the main species of bird that eat niger bird seed but other species such as greenfinches will also eat it.

A wild bird peanut feeder is a mesh bird feeder that peanuts can be eaten from by wild birds. Peanuts should always be put in a peanut feeder because a relatively large size of a whole peanut is difficult for many bird species to eat and there's also the danger of young birds choking on the nut if they were given it by a parent.

The species of bird that will feed on a peanut bird feeder are fairly mixed, but will generally be any of the Tits, Greenfinch, House Sparrow, Siskin and Great Spotted Woodpecker.

Wild bird fat ball feeders can be hung from a branch or hook and house the fat balls in a cage

It's mainly the different species of Tit that feed from Fat Ball Feeders, Long Tailed Tits are particularly attracted but other birds, including Robins, will feed on them if they're able to stand on the cage.

Birds such as the Song Thrush, Blackbird and Dunnock won't use any of the bird feeders already detailed - they're just not adapted to feed in this way. For these sorts of species, they'll usually feed from a bird table or simply from the ground
