Special Bird Feeders

There are many types of Bird Feeders and some are specialized to hold the different bird food. Attract the more unusual and desirable birds to your backyard by providing each type of bird what they need with Special Bird Feeders.

Hummingbird Bird Feeder:

The Hummingbird-Feeder-Clear-Dome show here is a good example of a hummingbird feeder with nectar protective dome above. Nectar Hummingbird feeders spaced around the yard can attract groups of Hummingbirds coming north from Mexico during their migration. Place the feeders so they are out of the line of sight from one another, so that one male Hummingbird does not dominant all the feeders. You can learn how to Attract Hummingbirds to Feeders here!

Bluebird Bird Feeder
Special Birdbird Feeders are necessary because Bluebirds are not seed eaters, but feed on insects and love mealworms.
Set out this Bluebird Mealworm Feeder to attract Bluebirds. Bluebirds are cavity dwellers. They appreciate and will use a nice Bluebird house in more open areas or on the edge of fields. By providing their food and shelter you have a better chance of having them stick around.

Oriole Bird Feeder:

Oriole Feeders are nectar and fruit loving birds, so you can use nectar feeders that are made for them and fruit trays. Orioles love orange wedges and grape jelly. Once they find your feeders they stop by regularly. Oriole Fruit Jelly Bird Feeder shown here has a protective orange roof to shade the oranges and Jelly and keep it fresh.

Some of these birds most people may never see, but now that you know how to attract them with these and other Special Bird Feeders. You can attract and share the experience with your family.

Tube Bird Feeder

There are many categories of Bird Feeders at Backyard Wild Birds that can perform special functions, offer a special type of seed or are meant to attract a certain kind of wild bird. All have their pluses and minuses, and some stand out from the crowd. Some of the categories are Tube Bird Feeders, Squirrel Bird Feeders, large Hopper Bird Feeders, Window Bird Feeders and Hummingbird Feeders to name a few.

I’m going to focus on the Tube Bird Feeders which is one of the oldest and most popular types. One example of a classic tube bird feeder is the Bird Feeders Bird Feeder show here. A birder who has experience with lots of feeders over a long period gets to know what they like and what works. The Bird Feeders Bird Feeder is a birder’s best in class feeder and it is so because of its excellent design. One main criteria has to be quality and the ability to last. This feeder has metal parts that are heavy die-cast brass metal for the caps, ports, base and a clear UV stabilized polycarbonate tube feeder. This material makes the clear tube very rugged and it won’t crack or turn yellow. Its perches are positioned to be offset as they go around the tube so not have the birds above bothering those below. The perches are also mostly in the bottom half of the tube, so the birds can feed for a longer time as the seed goes down. At the tube bottom is a seed diverter that delivers the seed to the bottom port where the birds can reach all of it. This meets a second criteria, in that it must have good seed delivery and not waste seed. The tube feeder comes with a must have Quick-Clean removable base. Just 'push the buttons' and it slides out. A third criteria is accomplished with its easy cleaning, maintenance and refilling of seed. This is a sunflower seed feeder which is by far the most popular seed to attract the most variety of wild birds. Squirrel Baffles are available that make this feeder into a Squirrel Proof Bird Feeders.
