When attracting birds to a garden, it can prove to be a very time consuming and costly idea. Planting the right plants and adding a water feature or a bird bath will definitely attract birds and butterflies. A cost effective and attractive way to draw birds to a garden is with a tube bird feeder.
The best way to enjoy birds in their natural environment is to put out food and just sit back and relax. Food can either by put out randomly or a feeder can be filled with a number of different seeds. This will ensure that a number of different birds will frequent the garden to enjoy a meal.
A large feeder will definitely not fit into a small garden or even a balcony, but this diverse range does offer smaller feeders. Each feeder comes standard with two feeder ports and two perches, so it is much easier for the birds to land and enjoy a meal. The smaller range can hold up to half a quart of seed, so they will require regular refills if there are lots of birds feeding.
For larger garden there is a really big range of feeders to choose from. The standard tubes can hold from 4 quarts of seed, right up to 11 pounds, depending on the model. The amount of seed stored depends on the model chosen. There are available in a diverse range of colors and designs, which will match any type of garden.
A number of the larger feeders are available with squirrel cages, to prevent the food from being enjoyed by garden squirrels. They are perfectly designed for the birds to reach the food but there is no way that the squirrels can. They are good to look and and serve a very useful purpose.
One amazing feature of these feeders are the number of ports and perches available on the different models. Most of the smaller feeders come standard with two feeding ports and a perch per port. The larger models range from four to six ports, and in some cases more. Depending on the model chosen, the perches will be in different places along the tube.
In addition to the standard tubes there are a number of very stunning styles to choose from. The colors and finishes can be chosen to match the scheme in the garden or even the color of the house. With their great designs they are not only easy to fill up with seed but it is real easy to take them apart and clean them. The entire range is so affordable, that the customer may even decide to put in more than one
