How to Choose Bird Feeders
DurabilityThe ideal feeder withstands weather extremes for years - through cold, wet, windy winters and hot, humid summers. Feeders made from heavier gauge plastic and acrylic and those with metal fittings generally last longest. If you prefer a wood feeder, cedar and cypress are best, and they're environmentally friendly. CapacityTo avoid constant refilling, select a feeder with ample capacity. One to two quarts is about right. Expect to refill a busy feeding station every 1 to 2 days in winter. SimplicityYour feeder should be easy to assemble, set up, fill, clean, and maintain. Consider esthetics, too. Sometimes simple designs look best in yards and gardens. SafetyLook for a feeder that keeps seed dry, insuring no spoilage. Make sure birds cannot enter a feeder or get their heads stuck in feeding ports |
