Copper feeding station with blue tits and finches in a garden - bird feeder at Bopets

Why use a bird feeder?

Scattering food on the ground is not ideal: it gets wet, attracts unwanted visitors and is less safe for birds. A bird feeder provides structure and protection: food stays drier, the feeding station remains tidy and birds can eat more peacefully. Choose a feeding column for seed mixes, a hanging feeder for balconies or a wide feeding platform for blackbirds and sparrows. Read the buying guide →

Why use a bird feeder?

Scattering food on the ground is not ideal: it gets wet, attracts unwanted visitors and is less safe for birds. A bird feeder provides structure and protection.

  • Food stays drier and fresher for longer.
  • Birds can eat more peacefully, at a fixed spot.
  • Less waste and less chance of mould in wet conditions.
  • You keep the feeding area tidy and clean.

Types of bird feeders

There are various types of bird feeders, each with their own advantages. By choosing the right model, you make it easier for birds and prevent food from spoiling quickly.

  • Open feeders – Classic houses with a roof and open sides, ideal for seed mixes and fat balls.
  • Feeding columns and silos – Better suited to peanuts, sunflower seeds and special mixes, with less waste.
  • Hanging feeders – Handy for smaller gardens or balconies; easy to hang from a branch or hook.

Placing your bird feeder correctly

Where you hang or place the feeder greatly affects how safely birds can use it. A few simple tips make it much safer straight away.

  • Place the feeder at sufficient distance from windows.
  • Do not hang it too low, so cats have a harder time reaching the birds.
  • Choose a quiet spot, with some shelter from hedges or bushes if possible.

Combine with bird food and nest boxes

A bird feeder works best in combination with good wild bird food and a suitable nest box. This way you offer not only food, but also extra shelter and nesting opportunities.

Frequently asked questions bird feeders

What type of bird feeder should I choose?
A tube feeder for seeds, a mesh feeder for peanuts, and a platform feeder for mixed food. Choose weatherproof materials like treated wood, metal or recycled plastic.
Where should I place a bird feeder?
At least 2 metres from dense bushes (where cats hide), near some shelter, and visible from your window for enjoyment. At different heights to attract different species.
How do I keep squirrels away from the feeder?
Use squirrel-proof feeders with weight-activated closing mechanisms or metal cages. Place feeders on poles with baffles at least 1.5 metres from the nearest tree or fence.
How often should I clean a bird feeder?
At least every 2 weeks, more often in warm or wet weather. Use hot water and a bird-safe disinfectant. Let it dry completely before refilling. Dirty feeders spread diseases.
Can I make my own bird feeder?
Yes, simple feeders from recycled materials work well. Use untreated wood or plastic bottles. Ensure there are no sharp edges and that the food stays dry. Hang it securely to prevent falling.
Which feeder attracts the most bird species?
A combination of different feeders works best. A tube feeder for finches, a platform for robins and blackbirds, a suet feeder for woodpeckers and tits. Offering varied food types is key.
How do I prevent mould in the feeder?
Choose feeders with good drainage and ventilation. Do not overfill. Clean regularly and replace food that gets wet. In rainy weather, use covered feeders.
