Wild bird feeders are an effective way to attract a wide variety of exciting birds to your yard. Once birds detect the presence of a bird feeder with a reliable food supply, they'll keep coming back--and bringing more birds with them. With the passage of just a bit of time and faithful care and maintenance of your feeder, your property can become a Grand Central Station for birds from all over!

Wild bird feeders don't come in just one design. In fact, many styles of feeders exist. It's important to become familiar with these different styles before buying. This is more than an aesthetic consideration for the look of your yard. Different birds are attracted to different feeders, and some birds simply will not use feeders with designs that are incompatible with what they prefer.

Different Wild Bird Feeder Designs
Thus, if you're bent on attracting doves to your property, you'll want the bird feeder that doves prefer. This happens to be a platform, or dish feeder. The other most common styles of bird feeders are tube feeders and suet feeders. Tube feeders are shaped like a tube and are often filled with seed or other dry foods. These feeders allow many birds to feed at once in a tiered formation.

Suet feeders are often house or lantern shaped. These feeders are designed to securely hold blocks of suet, a fatty, high-calorie food that's packed with nutrients for wintering birds. Outdora offers a generous selection of beautifully crafted wild bird feeders in dish, tube, and suet styles that are sure to delight both you and your avian visitors!
