Bird House Feeder

There is something so relaxing – so soothing – about watching birds nest, feed and go about their daily lives.  I get hours of pleasure watching the different species of birds make a home in my garden – and you can too.

Not only will you get the enjoyment of watching nature first hand, you will also be doing a great service.  There are birds, in the winter months, that need an extra little bit of food to survive, there are migrating birds in the fall and spring months that need both food and shelter.  And, of course, you can offer shelter during the mating and laying seasons.

There are so many different types of birds that we can attract and watch.  We just need to understand what type of bird house to use and what type of food we will use in the bird house feeder.  As they say – if you build it, they will come.

Do a little reseach as to what types of birds can be found in your local area and then you can decide the types of birds you want to attract.  That will dictate the type of bird house you put in the garden (or window sill or whereever) and what type of feed you will use.

Certain species will only stay in certain types of bird houses and certain species will only eat certin types of food from specific type of bird house feeder.

For example, hummingbirds will be attracted to nectar type foods that you place in a hummingbird feeder but finches will need to be fed seeds from a feeder that is below the bird house perch as they feed upside-down.

Bird houses range in price from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars for hand carved masterpieces.  Feed is very inexpensive.  Both can be found online very easily.

You can start out very simply and cheaply by just getting a simple feeding tray and putting some feed out.  You will soon discoiver what types of birds are in the local area.  Of course, you also find out very quickly if you have squirrels around.  They love bird feed.

There are plenty of solutions to combat squirrel issues so they don’t steal and spoil the bird’s food.

We suggest you use the resources on this site to do a little more research on birds, bird houses, bird house feeders and bird feeding methods.

Just enjoy our little friends and know you are doing a great service to yourself and nature.

New feeder almost in final position. Need to build a base for it. These are first motion detection videos I got. I wish more species would come.

This is my own footage. i was in the kitchen and i saw this little girl in the bird feeder that is built into the window.

funny bird trying to get inside he was there for like a hour and he came back again and again for 2 more hours

This was bought as a squirrel-proof bird feeder, which I have adapted to hold additional sunflower seeds. Despite bending the bars to reduce the gaps, the younger squirrels have no trouble getting in, although they sometimes struggle to get out.

A little wren decides that the bird house I made is appropriate. It gets very busy in trying to haul in nesting materials. My cats are very amused.

The patented Squirrel Buster technology is truly squirrel proof.

Thousands of delighted bird lovers have confirmed it. The Squirrel Buster Classic has openings in the wire grid that align with the seed ports and provide birds access to the seed.

When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, its weight automatically forces the grid down, closing access to the seed ports. Squirrels and many large birds are foiled but not harmed in any way.
