Birds are great to watch outside during a warm summer day, but how do you get them to your yard? Getting a bird feeder is the best way to coax them outside your home to come by and grace you with their presence. But how do you find the best bird feeder to use? Looking around at the store may seem pointless as you cannot read reviews on the items right there.
However, an Official Top 5 Review on bird feeders may be found online, but how do you know you are getting the best bird feeder for your buck? Sure, you could search on any shopping website for their top sellers, but how do you know those reviews were not paid for? The bottom line is you do not. Following this guide will help you pick out the bird feeder to best suit your needs.
It is important that when you are looking for one online, that you find something that will attract birds to your feeder but also keep other pests away, such as squirrels. Those animals love to eat birdseed and can end up gorging themselves which leaves nothing for your new friends. So, finding a bird feeder that prevents squirrels but allows birds to use it is beneficial for you and them too.
It is important to make sure the bird feeder you find has enough room for a lot of birdseed. You do not want to have to go fill it every day for your outside birds, but you also want to make sure it will not sit there for a few weeks without being touched. Does it hold enough food for the week and will it last long enough for them to eat it?
You want to make sure the feeder you choose is easy to clean. Getting a complicated bird feeder will make you less likely to want to clean it, which is not good for the birds. So, make sure it can be taken apart easily by human hands, but hard for other animals to do so. Also, check out the instructions on how it is supposed to be cleaned as well, not all bird feeders are cleaned equally.
Durability is very important; you do not want to have to buy multiple bird feeders repeatedly because they do not last you more than a month. Make sure you buy one that will last you at least the season, if not longer than that. This way you can reuse them every year and not have to spend money on anything but the birdseed.
Also, make sure that it will not rust in the rain or bad weather outside. You do not want to get the birds sick because rust got mixed in with their food. Be sure to get a rust-free designed feeder for not only aesthetic reasons, but also for the ones that are eating from it.

When you get a bird feeder, you want to take care of those flying critters as soon as possible. But if you buy a complicated feeder that takes an hour to put together, how hard will it be to clean it? You want to make sure the setup is smooth and simple, so you do not have to spend a lot of time setting it up whenever you need to clean it. Make sure during the first-time setup it is put together the right way as well, you do not want to get your newfound friends hurt!
Cost is a big thing when it comes to these, sometimes they can be very fancy and range from high priced to being easily rusted and lower priced. Make sure you find something that is good for the birds themselves but also for your wallet. You do not want to spend too much money on these, however, you do get what you pay for, so make sure you do not go too cheap options either.
So, you have found some bird feeders you like that match the above criteria, but how do you choose the one you will buy? Looking at others’ reviews on these things can be very helpful, as they can tell you many things such as how hard they were to set up as well as how long they lasted. Websites such as this one here can help you narrow down your search greatly. Make sure you check on different websites for the same product and compare the reviews from there to the place you initially looked at as well.
This is especially useful for websites that do not have reviews for these kinds of products. Also, you need to compare the differences between all the feeders you have found and liked. Using reviews from people who have owned them is very beneficial for you, if the reviews are not biased, of course. A lot of times on certain websites people will pay for reviews, however, when they say the person genuinely bought the product, they are less likely to have been paid to review it.
Now that you know what to look for when you search for bird feeders online, and how to read reviews and compare products, it is now time to go out there and put your knowledge to good use. Get a bird feeder for your backyard so you can not only watch the birds outside but also enjoy the scenery and fresh air the outdoors can provide for you. You can also watch them through an open window too, so go ahead; narrow down your selections and get ready to watch them outside. Find the next bird feeder for your backyard by searching for them online or through your favourite shopping website and pick up one today!
