Bird feeders permit birding enthusiasts and gardeners to fully indulge themselves in their love of bird watching. Bird feeders allow birds to eat necessary nutrients, while staying within view. While the number of bird feeders available can be overwhelming, Yard Envy is here to help guide you through the decision process. Bird feeders are designed according to the food used and which birds you plan to attract. Most birds will enjoy black sunflower seeds, but many different species may eat fruit, nuts - even peanut butter. Some bird feeders are designed to ward off unwanted birds or predators, such as squirrels, raccoons, bees, and even sparrows. Keep in mind that many birds stay north in the winter, and bird feeders are often a bird's only source of nutrition during the cold, snowy winters.
