Did you know… there are at least six different types of feeders! There are tube feeders, suet holders, thistle and hopper feeders, squirrel proof, hummingbird, and oriole feeders. So, how do you know which type is right for you?

The first step is to think about what type of seed or nectar you would like to serve. Secondly, what types of birds would you like to see? Thirdly, what type of surroundings do you have outdoors – do you have lots of trees and bushes?

After these questions are answered you can begin to think about what type of feeder you need. If you do decide to feed hummingbirds, note that there are several types of hummingbird feeders as well. Most people who feed hummingbirds want something easy to fill and easy to clean – in this case we would recommend the Top Fill hummingbird feeder.
