Nature lovers love seeing different types of birds at their homes. Watching birds is somehow very satisfying and relaxing to them. But people should understand that these migratory birds need proper care as well. Proper bird feeding materials should be provided. Of the many things needed for the birds, are feeders filled with wild bird seed.

There are various types of feeders today. From the conventional tube feeders, suet bird feeders and the squirrel proof feeders, to the more elaborate decorative bird feeders, you have a lot of options to choose from. Providing the right feeders and food will always make them come back. One of the most popular and commonly used bird feeder is the tube variety. They are specially designed to efficiently hold seed blends or seed mixes, or even sunflower seeds or chips. Being the most popular type of feeder, it is available in different sizes, ranging from just six inches to over three feet long. There are some skinny feeders too, as well as wide ones.

One type of bird feeder that is very common among homeowners is the hopper feeder, which is indeed ideal for the birds because it can accommodate and feed so many different species of birds. These are durable and affordable, and are made purely from hardwood, yet you can find some made from cedar wood with clear plastic sides. Additionally, a suet feeder is considered to be a squirrel proof bird feeder. Two common examples of suet feeders are the log feeders, with drilled holes on its edges, and the sandwich feeders, which are comprised of two pieces of wood secured together, with the suet placed in between. These feeders are ideal to keep nuisance animals, such as squirrels and raccoons, away from the food. There is also another type of feeder today called Duncraft's "Cling a Wing," which was primarily designed to feed small clinging birds like Nuthatches, Chickadees, and more.

Birds that come and visit your place should be well provided for and there are different types of bird feeding options you can choose from these days. Just remember that if you start to put out food for the birds in the fall, then you need to continue to feed them regularly throughout the winter. That way, you will always achieve a relaxing and totally soothing experience right in your own backyard.
