Bird Feeders

	Bird feeders are a wonderful way to decorate your yard and garden. They can add a unique touch of whimsy to your property while attracting beautiful birds that bring your yard and garden to life with splashes of color and nature’s music. This adds an element that cannot be achieved with flowers and plants alone. Birds also bring a sense of joy and pleasure to your yard that draws you into the great outdoors. Today, there are a wide variety of whimsical bird feeders available. Add a window feeder to large windows for easy viewing of the feathered friends that visit your yard. There’s nothing so breathtaking as watching cardinals feed at your window on a cold winter day with a backdrop of freshly fallen snow as a backdrop. Platform feeders look great alongside a bird bath in your yard where creeping vines twist and turn on a nearby fence or trellis. The vines give the birds a sense of security while giving your yard a rustic look. Please browse through our selection of products or to read more about Bird Feeders please Click Here

Bird Feeders

Gazebo feeders add a quaint country atmosphere. These are usually large, which allows lots of room for different bird species to feed at the same time. Gazebo flowers can have a mixture of food added if you buy one that is divided into different sections.

Choose bird feeders that provide a pleasing counterpoint to climbing roses, ground cover, flowers, shrubs and trees. These should follow your garden theme and compliment other garden accessories. If your garden is amphibian themed, chose a platform feeder in the shape of a lily pad. If your garden flags and decorations are a bird theme, chose a pelican birdfeeder where the seed is held in the bird’s pouch.

Bird feeders come in a variety of materials; metal, plastic, resin and wooden feeders can be purchased at garden stores and nurseries. Choose a feeder made out of a material that will best withstand the climate and temperature changes in your area.

Bird feeders also add an interesting visual effect to your deck, patio, garden and yard. They add color and give your outdoor décor a finishing touch, as well as providing the viewer with relaxing entertainment. There’s nothing quite so relaxing as watching the comical antics of a variety of bird as they feast outside a window or at a whimsical feeder in your yard.

Bird feeders set the mood in your yard. From country to elegant; from natural to whimsical, there’s a birdfeeder that will fit your garden theme perfectly. If you want a simple birdfeeder, fill an open pinecone with peanut butter and roll it in birdseed. Another option is to pick up some suet at the butcher’s, render it and when it’s cool, yet still soft, add pieces of citrus fruit and nuts. Birds love this type of feeder and you may find that new bird species will visit your yard once you have hung it.

Whether you choose a red barn bird feeder for a country look or garden angels and fairies, you will enjoy watching the birds that bring your yard and garden alive with color, music and entertainment. Put up several feeders of different styles but in the same theme, add different types of birdseed sit back and relax. You’re in for a marvelous show put on by the feathered creatures that visit your yard and garden. Enjoy!

Bird Feeders - More Information

When you’ve spent hours slaving over your outdoor décor, creating gardens, ponds, installing water fountains and more, there’s few accessories to be had that will make them look any better…except the ones offered by Mother Nature! And best of all, they’re free, in return for the very small investment of a few bird feeders and a variety of seed.

If you’re fond of nature, and like to sit outside in summer, or indoors in winter and admire the live scenery, consider purchasing or even building some bird feeders that can accommodate the variety of seeds that are eaten by birds which inhabit your region. Your local library is sure to have a book on the feathered friends that are yours for the asking. Or, you can purchase a Peterson’s Field Guide at the local bookstore, and have even more fun with a pair of binoculars, trying to identify them all. If you’re really into birding, many localities have clubs that register counts of certain species, or record the dates that they are first seen over the year. If it’s just their color and company you appreciate, no matter what time of year, then check out the types of seed you’ll need, and go shopping for bird feeders that are suited for dispensing them.

For example, there are many colorful varieties of finches. The finch particularly enjoys niger seed, the product of a thistle plant. This is a very tiny seed that should be put in a feeder with appropriately small holes. In a larger feeder that perhaps has a V-shaped pair of glass panes, the opening at the bottom may be so large, that much of the seed is lost with wind, and swinging of the feeder, not to mention raiding by larger birds.

A typical finch feeder has multi levels, with six or eight feeding perches being placed around the outside, at different levels. The holes are just right for the short, stubby finch beak, and the tiny seeds.

On the other hand, you can feed a great many of the bird species in your area, from a general mix that contains assorted small seeds, sunflower pieces, peanut pieces, and ground corn. Feeders for this will require slightly larger openings, and can be found in the most delightful styles to complement or match your garden décor. If you have gone with old-fashioned coach style solar lights along the garden path, then a barn, or Southern mansion shaped bird feeder would be a perfect choice. These can be hung from convenient tree branches, or placed around the yard on “shepherd’s hooks”, a metal hook-shape that is simply pushed into the ground, and holds the feeder suspended up off the ground, at a height where you can observe the activity. If you’d like to get the birds a little closer to your flowers, so that you can see them better from your Adirondack chairs under the oak tree, then how about a cherub figurine, holding out a small dish to be filled with seed and set amongst the blossoms. Or a pedestal with a mosaic tile bowl that raises their feeding station above the flowers. And of course, let’s not forget the busy, and very beautiful hummingbirds. Red-glass strawberries, flowers and other charming shapes serve as feeders to hold the homemade nectar you stir up in the kitchen.

Scatter your bird feeders around the yard. Be generous with their locations and number, and make sure they are filled with food year round, and you’ll never lack for entertainment!
