Tube feeders have consistently provided a simple, functional way to
bring multiple type of birds into your backyard habitat. The design
dictates which species it will attract, allowing you to be selective of
the birds visiting your feeders. Tube feeders are also easier to clean,
helping maintain the health of your backyard birds.
Tube feeders provide superb viewing opportunities. Having anywhere from
four to eight feeding portals, most tube feeders accommodate many birds
of various species feeding simultaneously. Seed in tube feeders is
protected from adverse weather and dampness.
Different sized portals on tube feeders allow you to dictate which
birds you want to visit your feeder. The standard, larger portal
distributes sunflower and other seed to the smaller perching birds,
while the smaller niger seed portal narrows down the attracted birds to
mainly goldfinches, pine siskins, and redpolls. A niger tube feeder
with perches over the portals will further narrow down your visiting
birds almost exclusively to goldfinches.
Larger birds avoid tube feeders since they can’t perch around small
perches such as those on a tube feeder. IF you do wish to attract
larger birds to your tube feeder, adding a tray onto the bottom will
help accomplish this.
Tube feeders are most commonly hung from a tree or pole, but may also
be mounted atop of a pole. The feeder should be placed in an accessible
and easily visible location and height, but not within 10 to 15 feet of
trees or shrubs (to avoid squirrels or other pests from accessing it).
