If you don’t like the copper color, you can also choose from blue, brown or red. Feed lots of birds but keep the squirrels away with this squirrel-proof bird feeder made by Brome. A tube bird feeder, like the Gray Bunny Classic Tube Feeder with 6 Feeding Ports, is great for attracting lots of smaller birds, like sparrows or chickadees. It’s also weatherproof (and mostly critter-proof), since the seeds are completely housed behind the glass tube. Since the seeds are stacked on top of each other, be sure to clean the feeder often, as the bottom layer can be prone to bacteria and mold.

• Different species of birds often have their own feeding habits that you should study in order to provide the right conditions to attract them to your yard.
• Let’s see some other features of this seed bag by the Kaytee bird feeds.
• If you use a platform feeder or feed on a deck or balcony, feed only as much seed as birds can consume in a day.
• For those birdwatchers who arent afraid to use more complicated gadgets, GoPro cameras are about the best option available.
• Also, the roof is slightly sloped that makes it difficult for birds to sit over the roof and dirty it.

About a year ago, I decided to try and hang a few window bird feeders on the back of our house. More specialized feeders, such as nectar, fruit, and suet feeders, attract select types of birds, such as hummingbirds, orioles, and woodpeckers. For more information on what type of feeder is right for you, you may want to visit our Learning Center for a more in depth look at Types of Bird Feeders. It’s not just hummingbirds that are attracted to delicious nectar, so are insects. This hummingbird feeder has an ant moat that can be half-filled with water to trap these pesky insects.

Plus there are kitchen gadgets two compartments so you can place two types of bird feed to attract more bird variations. You would almost not notice that there’s a feeder there if it weren’t for the black rubber perch, the suction cups and of course the seeds. There’s no danger of birds crashing against the window though since they clearly see the rubber perch. Since it is of good make and has lasted several seasons, I would still recommend this window mounted bird feeder. Just make sure you remove the snow build-up on its roof during winter. I have not experienced it falling to the ground because of the weight, but it would pay to be careful.

Hummingbirds love bright colors and naturally flock to them. For example, if you hang your feeder near a planter full of brightly-colored flowers, it’ll attract many more birds than if you were to hang it in front of a drab beige-colored wall. If you’re hanging the feeder in a tree or on a pole in your yard, choose a location near a flower bush or a plant with brightly-colored leaves.

Somewhere that the feeders will be easily spotted, consider varying the food, and hanging them at lots of different heights. Not only do the birds need to be able to spot the feeders, but you also need to be able to watch them. Place the feeders within a good viewing distance from a window, preferably one in a quiet room at a great enough distance to not disturb the birds.

Drilling holes in the shell will allow you to thread a wire through it and make it easier for hanging. You won’t even have to throw the gourd seeds away as the birds will eat them up. Leftover citrus fruit peels can be now used as a bird feeder. When you’re done carving the fruit out for juice, you can use these halved peels to store bird feed. Using woolen yarns to make holders for the bowl will withstand the weight of birds and the feeder itself. You can hang them around your garden or balcony, and it will still look pretty and beautiful.

The suction cups are strong enough to hold the whole weight of the bird feeder, the seeds, water, and the birds, up until they warp. The best window bird feeder should be able to withstand inclement weather changes. If your window gets wet easily when it rains, then putting up a window feeder may not be your best choice. If not, choose a feeder design that has a roof to protect the seeds. This 10-inch vertical window feeder is a great space saver as compared to the more elaborate window feeders.
