Having a wide variety of feeders on your property will not only feed those that are already around but it becomes an instant magnet once the "word" gets out.

Finches are lively little birds with their singing and darting flying patterns. Because they are such colorful little creatures they add color to any landscape and will bring a sense of joy to those who enjoy bird watching. Finches vary in colors from brown to reds to vibrant yellows. They are not only colorful but excellent singers and will liven up any area that feeders are hung for them.

Bird feeders for finches can also be built if you are the woodworking type. They can be made to hold the average wild birdseed to thistle which finch love. The more food you put in the feeders the more finches you will attract.

When hanging finch bird feeders it is important to think about the birds' safety. If the finch does not feel safe from predators they will not be so apt to eat. If there are things such as cats around the feeders need to be hung higher up. By feeding these beautiful birds we do not want to put them in danger.

Most discount supply stores will sell finch bird feeders made of plastic. When looking over the feeders and deciding which ones to buy there are a few things to keep in mind. First, if you will be using the wild bird seed you will need to look for those that are made for seed. Because many buy choose to buy thistle and the bird feeders made for seed the seed may have a tendency to spill out. Although the finch will eat the seed the squirrels will also become your best friends. This is perfectly fine for those that like squirrels but many do not want squirrels near their houses.

When looking at the plastic bird feeders for finches check the construction. With the changes in weather from hot summers and the extremely cold winders they have a tendency to crack. The ones that are not constructed well will crack within the first year. By buying ones that are a bit more expensive you will have a feeder that will last more than a year. This will save you both time and money in the long run.

Another thing to keep in mind is when choosing the bird feeders for finches is to check to make sure they can be cleaned. There will be times when it is advisable to take down the feeders and give them a good thorough cleaning. This keeps the ports where the seeds flow through open and will prevent blocking of the feeder.

Another great type of bird feeders for finches is the type that will go on a window. Many have the suction cups so that they will stick to a clean window. Many different sizes are available and will make for a great addition to a kitchen window. In the morning when the finches are feeding you will be able to see them up close. When first putting the bird feeders for finches on the windows it may take a bit of time for the finch to find it. Once they do you will have entertainment daily.

This is absolutely the best squirrel proof bird feeder I have ever used. I have three of them at my home. Squirrels get a tiny shock when they attempt to raid the feeder and, believe me, they only try it a couple of times before they give up. They don't get hurt! They just go elsewhere.

Humming Bird Feeders, Glass Or Plastic, Big Or Small?

!: Humming Bird Feeders, Glass Or Plastic, Big Or Small?

The winged jewels will be traveling to your area soon. Are you ready for them with the correct humming bird feeders? Each spring migration brings a renewed anticipation of the world's smallest wild bird. Depending on where you live will determine the feeder best suited for your location.

The ruby-throated hummingbird is the lone inhabitant east of the Mississippi River. This single dominance brings a challenging effort on the part of humans to attract and keep this magnificent wild bird. The male is very aggressive in defending his territory from all other hummingbirds, including its mate and offspring. The best humming bird feeder for these backyards are the small styles. More humming bird feeders in different locations will make it difficult for the territorial male to defend completely. It is best to spread out the feeders around the four sides of your house. This way, you can easily keep more than one family of ruby-throated hummingbirds at your habitat all summer long.

The rest of the Continental United States are home to between 10-12 varieties of hummingbirds. For these locations the larger volume humming bird feeders are the wisest choices. There are nectar feeders with huge 72oz. capacities that can accommodate the hundreds of hummingbirds that can flock to your backyard in Southwestern locations. Successful backyard birders can easily serve gallons of sweet nectar on a daily basis. Now that's what I call taking care of your birds!

The choices between glass and plastic humming bird feeders are a classic discussion that has gone on for ages. Plastic is a safer choice and weighs less. Glass is easier to keep clean and longer lasting. Depending on the size of the feeder you choose will have a greater effect on the choice of materials. If you go through large quantities of nectar, you may choose plastic for greater convenience. Small nectar feeders that will require greater care may be better suited made of glass.

Hint: If bees are a problem, stay away from the color yellow. Yellow to bees is like waving a red cape at a charging bull.

Homemade Bird Feeders

!: Homemade Bird Feeders

Building a bird feeder can be a great project for moms, dads and kids. It's fairly simple to build a bird feeder that can be hung in the back yard and bring years of enjoyment for the whole family. You can either start from scratch with material you have around the house, or you can purchase a kit that has everything you need to make a very attractive and functional feeder.

You can make a very simple bird feeder out on an egg carton by cutting off the lid and filling the egg pockets with birdseed. To hang the carton, simply poke holes in the four corners of the carton and run string through each hole. Then, gather the string together and tie a knot. You can hang the feeder from any tree branch.

Soda bottles also make great bird feeders. Wash a two-liter soda bottle and make two holes at the bottom of the bottle. Thread a piece of wire through the holes and twist the wire ends together. Place dowels near the bottom of the feeder, and make an opening for birds to remove seed or cereal.

Kids also love to make cardboard tube bird feeders. All you need is a tube from a paper towel roll and a piece of yarn. Tread the yarn through the tube, then lay the tube on a piece of paper towel or plastic and coat it with honey. Take birdseed or cereal and sprinkle it all over the sticky tube. Tie the yarn into a knot and hang your completed project from any tree branch in your back yard.

If you want to get a little fancier, a bird feeder kit has prefabricated pieces with easy to follow instructions. They come in a variety of designs including a simple platform feeder to beautifully designed miniature versions of Victorian or colonial style homes. You can find bird feeder kits in any craft and hobby shop, gift shops and a number of online stores.
