Just like how what food you offer can dictate what kind of birds feel most at home in your yard, what feeder you use is one of the most important choices to make when designing your setup. Some feeders are specially designed around one specific type of food while others are jack-of-all-birdseed units and can happily accomidate a wide variety of offerings. There's multiple special designs for peanuts both in and out of the shell, unique mechanisms for keeping birdseed away from squirrels, and so much more!
We're going to breakdown the high-level differences between our different types of bird feeders for you here, so you can use this information to help you in making the most informed decision.
Our Quick-Clean® Seed Tube Feeders are the absolute easiest to clean feeders on the market. A quick press of two buttons and the base pops off for easy access. It attracts birds such as finches, nuthatches, chickadees and woodpeckers and comes with a limited lifetime guarantee. We also offer a variety of accessories including trays and weather guards.
All of our Wild Birds Unlimited hopper feeders follow the same unique design as the WBU Classic Bird Feeder. Created in 1990 by Wild Birds Unlimited founder, president and CEO, Jim Carpenter, the Classic Bird Feeder is stylish, durable, easily maintainable, and most importantly allows you to view bird feeding better. Today, our hopper feeders come in a range of sizes and are made out of EcoTough® recycled plastic.
Want to feed birds but find that you mostly end up feeding the neighborhood squirrels instead? We have the perfect solution for you with our line of WBU squirrel proof seed feeders.
Cylinder feeders are an easy, effective, and tidy way of feeding a wide variety of birds in your yard. These feeders allow you to offer one of our seed and suet cylinders or mix and match seed and suet stackables all in one feeder! They come in a variety of sizes and styles to suit your (and your birds’) needs.
If you want to see birds "right outside your window" try a window feeder! You’ll see how they choose their seeds or other food and get a close-up view of their feathers, markings and other special features. Have a field guide nearby for easy identification! Give fruit, mealworms, nuts or seed to the birds in the WBU Double Tray Window Feeder. If you don’t have hummingbirds year-round, take off the lid of the WBU Window Hummingbird Feeder and use it to feed the birds a varied fare! Fill a WBU Window Feeder with seed and see who sidles up for a snack.
Although suet is an excellent source of energy for your birds on a cold winter day, we recommend that you provide suet to your birds all year round. Basic suet feeders consist of a wire box that holds one or up to three suet cakes (or a suet tub). Tail prop feeders are particularly helpful for woodpeckers, which will use their stiff tail feathers for balance against the feeder. If you want to keep squirrels and starlings away from your suet, try an upside down feeder or our WBU squirrel and starling proof suet feeder.
We are lucky to have the Anna's Hummingbird as a year round visitor to our gardens and feeders. Their diet consist of flower nectar (for carbohydrates) as well as small insects and insect eggs (for protein and other nutrients). You can help hummingbirds in your backyard by providing a 1:4 mixture of sugar to water in one of our High Perch Hummingbird Feeders. They are easy to clean, will not drip.
Providing peanuts is a great addition to the choices you offer your backyard birds. Peanuts are a high-energy food and are enjoyed by a wide variety of birds such as woodpeckers, nuthatches, chickadees, jays and more. Many of their visits will be to carry peanuts off and cache them for a later meal.
