Regardless of the weather outside, your feathered friends will always have dry, fresh seeds waiting for them.

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. These balls and cakes are often sold encased in a plastic net which you must remove before you place the suet into the feeder. Otherwise, birds could trap their beaks or feet inside the net and suffer serious injuries. Keeping your feeder clean is very important. Diseases can spread easily between birds where they congregate at feeders. Wash regularly and dispose of any mouldy food.

Enjoy the unique experience of feeding and watching songbirds from inches away, all in the comfort of your own home. There’s no cage guard on the Heavy Duty Seed Feeder so squirrels could still attempt to jump aboard and steal some seeds, but the sturdy aluminium will prevent them from breaking into it as would inevitably happen with an all-plastic feeder. The metal loop makes this feeder ideal for hanging from a branch or hook in your garden. Gardman recommends you place it no more than two metres away from cover, such as trees or dense bushes, so that birds can retreat to safety between mouthfuls.

Of course, birds forage their food from a number of sources in the wild. But, as the British Trust for Ornithology points out, the food provided by bird feeding stations is an excellent supplement to birds’ diets, keeping them well provisioned and healthy, and offering plenty of dietary variety. During harsh winters, when food is scarce, feeding stations may even help save smaller birds from starving to death. Window feeder: These box-shaped feeders are attached to glass using strong suction cups and are transparent on all sides. That way, the birds can see what’s inside the feeder and bird watchers can enjoy watching them feed through the window. Window feeders can hold a mixture of foods and are best for smaller birds. Nut feeder: Like seed feeders, nut feeders are also tubular but use a steel mesh to dispense the food. 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. Never use salted or dry roasted peanuts and always buy your peanuts from a reputable supplier to eliminate the risk of aflatoxin, a natural toxin that can kill birds.

Be aware that, while this feeder goes some way to stopping food thieves, it can’t stop them all. 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. The RSPB recommends placing this feeder roughly two metres from any jumping platform so squirrels can’t reach it. One more note: if you have a pet cat roaming the garden, birds are less likely to feed there. Safety is paramount for birds – when there’s a dangerous predator on the loose, they will find food elsewhere. Can I use bird feeders in an urban area? With the gaps as small as they are, however, certain larger avian varieties may struggle to access the feed, so keep that in mind when hanging this up outside if there’s a particular breed of feathered friends you’re hoping to attract. There is a silver lining to this variable though, in that nuisance birds, such as pigeons, are unlikely to feast themselves at your expense or cause damage to the feeder.

The best bird feeders to buy in 2023

Watching wild birds from the window is a pastime that brings joy to millions every day. The best bird feeders will encourage these feathered visitors to your garden or patio on a regular basis. Thrilling as it is for us budding ornithologists to admire them from the comfort of our homes, the birds benefit even more. Research by the British Ornithologists’ Union suggests that the food we Brits put out in our bird feeding stations could support as many as 195 million garden birds. Ornate Design: Not only a functional bird feeder but Its elegant design makes it a perfect decorative addition for your home. Seed feeders: A hanging seed feeder can attract a range of small birds including sparrows, tits and finches. These can come in a variety of sizes and are typically made of plastic or metal. Some feeders will only take one type of food – peanuts, suet balls or seeds so think carefully about what type of bird you might like to attract. Suet feeders are brilliant for small birds such as great tits and blue tits. Seeds such as sunflower hearts attract a larger variety of birds including finches but smaller birds may well grab a seed and fly off to eat in a safer location. Peanuts attract lots of different birds too but beware of offering them during the spring – the RSPB warns that young birds can choke on whole peanuts. Cleaning Ground feeder: As the name suggests, these feeding stations are placed on the ground or elevated just above it. They generally have an open tray or trough that holds a wide variety and volume of feed. 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.
