Wingscapes AutoFeeder® Automatic Bird Feeder

Product Information

This adorable wooden feeder from the National Trust has been designed to look just like a classic birdhouse and can be dangled with ease from any hook or branch in your garden. During harsh winters, when food is scarce, feeding stations may even help save smaller birds from starving to death. Though versatile and easy to clean, they present an easier target for squirrels and birds such as crows and pigeons that you may not wish to feed. Crucially, the portholes, perches, lid and base are all made from polished diecast aluminium, meaning squirrels won’t be able to damage them.

As well as looking stylish, it’s expectedly practical too, with the cage layers engineered in such a way to keep out unwelcome visitors, such as squirrels, from stealing seeds. If possible, you should place bird feeders in a number of locations and at a variety of heights throughout your garden. Seed feeder: Filled with either sunflower seed or a seed mix, these feeders will attract a range of birds including tits, siskins and greenfinches. Because the birds can’t pull out big chunks of the peanut each time, the food extraction process can get messy, resulting in peanut crumbs piling up on the ground below.

Holding up to 600g of seeds inside a transparent tube, it has four perches and four portholes, allowing multiple birds to feed at once. A birdbath filled with fresh drinking water is another great way to encourage birds to visit your garden on a regular basis. What’s more, if you feel like a change, then you can remove the plastic screens and use the Geneva as a birdhouse or decoration. Smaller corvids such as magpies might still be able to fit their beaks through the gaps, and the juvenile squirrels seen in the summer could potentially squeeze in, too. Birds can be as picky as humans when it comes to food, so if you can’t decide which type to get, this ingenious feeder allows you to serve up all three food types at once.

Window feeder: These box-shaped feeders are attached to glass using strong suction cups and are transparent on all sides. Birds can perch on the feeder and eat small pieces of peanut through the mesh, which needs to be large enough to avoid trapped beaks but small enough to stop birds from pulling out large pieces.The cylindrical food holder is surrounded by a cage guard that allows only small birds through its gaps, keeping unwanted pests at bay. Suet feeder: Suet feeders come in box or tube shapes and, like nut feeders, they use a steel mesh that provides access to the suet balls or cakes within. In this article, we’ll help you choose the perfect bird feeder to place in your garden, patio or even on your window, with options to suit every budget. The top part of the feeder unscrews, leaving you with three cylinders to fill with seeds, suet, and nuts. Adjust the feed flow lever and determine the number of seconds per feeding to dispense the right amount of feed every time.
