Read on to find out what you should consider when buying a bird feeder.
How to choose the right bird feeder
There are many different types of bird feeders to choose from, depending on the species of birds you want to feed, the type of bird feed, and the options for hanging the bird feeder. In our range you will find bird feeders for seeds and nuts, tallow ball holders, and bird feeders that you can fill with both tallow balls and seeds.
The most ideal bird feeder for seeds allows several birds to eat at the same time, copes with winter weather, and is designed in a way that prevents the birds from sitting in the food. This reduces the risk of infection spreading among the birds. If you choose a bird feeder for seeds, it should have a protective roof that keeps the seeds dry.
Place the bird feeder correctly
Biltema’s bird feeders are designed to be hung up in a tree, for example, or on a stand that is inserted into the ground. The bird feeder should be placed near trees or shrubbery so that the birds can hide. However, it should not be placed in an area that cats can reach.
