Everything you need to know about wild bird feeders at the Garden Animal Shop


Wild bird feeders provide a clean, practical and sheltered way to feed native garden birds. Whether it’s titmice, sparrows, finches, nuthatches, robins or blackbirds – with the right bird feeder, you can provide wild birds in your garden, on your patio or balcony with a valuable source of food. Particularly in changeable weather, feeding posts and fat ball holders help to keep the food dry and easily accessible.

Feeders for various wild birds

Different feeders are suitable depending on the bird species and type of food. Feeding columns are ideal for seed mixes, sunflower seeds or peanuts and are popular with titmice, finches and sparrows. Feeding houses provide space for loose feed and mixes, whilst titball holders offer a safe alternative to titball nets. For soft-food eaters such as robins or blackbirds, open feeding areas or special bowls may be useful.

Clean feeding in the garden

A good bird feeder protects the food from damp, dirt and contamination. This keeps the wild bird food fresh for longer and ensures the feeding station remains hygienic. At the same time, it prevents food from lying directly on the ground, where it would attract moisture, mould or unwanted visitors. It is nevertheless important to clean the feeder regularly to ensure that feeding remains safe for wild birds.

Positioning feeders correctly

Wild bird feeders should be placed in a quiet, open and, if possible, cat-proof location. The ideal spot is one that offers birds a clear approach route whilst also providing nearby shelter, such as from bushes or trees. Make sure the feeder is securely mounted and that the food stays as dry as possible, even in the rain.
