Hanging feeders
Nowadays these type of feeder come in all shapes and sizes, and it depends on what you want to feed, as to which one is the correct choice. Hygiene is very important with hanging feeders please read our page on hygiene. You can feed peanuts, seeds, mealworms, suet pellets / blocks, live food, Niger Seed, Fat balls, through the specially developed feeders available now.
Some food gets dropped whilst the birds eat, a useful way to prevent waste, is to attach a tray to the bottom of the feeder to catch the fallout. Birds like the Nuthatch love whole Peanuts, from a hanging feeder, but so do Squirrels. I don’t mind the squirrel having a go to get the nuts, it can be entertaining, but on the other hand, they can be a pest, and damage your feeders, and keep the birds away. A good Squirrell proof feeder is the answer to this, there are several types available.
