Step 1
Give wild birds on your property a quick snack when you shop for simple tube feeders. A tube feeder should have a large cylinder filled with seed and a circular platform for small birds.
-
Step 2
Acquire a bird feeder at a garden shop that helps you view birds from your home. Bird feeders that attach to your window with suction cups are ideal for feeding small birds. A hanging bird feeder should be used for large bird species who need plenty of space to eat.
-
Step 3
Simplify the feeder installation process by purchasing a ground feeder. A ground feeder is a good option for seed, fruit and worm storage and doesn't have a laborious installation process.
-
Step 4
Cut down on the cost of purchasing bird feeders and baths when you shop for a combination feeder. These feeders have a large base with divided spaces for water, seeds and other food to accommodate multiple birds.
-
Step 5
Look at open-air feeders to help small birds grab a quick snack on your property. Opt for an open-air feeder with a square hanging mechanism and concave feeding platform to give birds a place to perch after eating.
-
Step 6
Continue your desire to protect the environment by shopping for eco-friendly bird feeders. Most garden shops carry feeders made from recycled and natural materials that do not contribute additional waste to the environment.
-
Step 7
Decorate your lawn and keep birds coming back for more with a house-shaped feeder. Speak with a carpenter about creating a smaller version of your house to display on your front lawn.
-
Step 8
Compare the size of your preferred bird seed with the size of the feed opening to make your choice. A bird feeder designed for small seeds won't be able to hold larger seeds, nuts or small fruits.
