bird feeders, but there are many different types and shapes of wooden
bird feeders. Wooden bird feeders can come in the most popular
types of bird feeders including hopper

escape. Wooden bird feeders can also be platform
or ground bird feeders, which allow pecking birds to enjoy a seed
meal, and allow you to have a beautiful backyard bird sanctuary. If

Wooden bird feeders can also come as suet
bird feeders or many different types of hanging
bird feeders including gazebo
bird feeders. Wooden bird feeders can even be made for thistle
bird feeders or finch
bird feeders, to give the rustic look you may be looking for. If
it is a window bird feeder
that you are looking for, then you can also buy these types of bird
feeders online, and they can even be wooden bird feeders!
Even though there you can buy wooden bird feeders that come in the
styles mentioned above there are three main types of wooden bird
feeders. The first being a plantation bird feeder. Plantation
bird feeders are typically shaped like a house and allow the birds the
birds to perch on either side while they feed. Plantation bird
feeders offer a protection for the birds because of the slanted
roof. These types of wooden bird feeders can be hanging
bird feeders or they can be mounted on a bird
feeder pole. This is the basic design and there can be many
variations off of it.
The second type of wooden bird feeder that is widely available are the platform
or ground bird feeders. Platform bird feeders can either be mounted
on a bird feeder
pole, or they can hang or be mounted off a deck or simply have wooden
legs to hold them up. This type of wooden bird feeder can be placed
close to where you are, but it also offers no protection from the elements
or predators.
The third most common type of wooden bird feeder is a fly through bird
feeder. Fly through bird feeders are similar to platform bird
feeders. Fly through bird feeders are often mounted or hung.
Fly thru bird feeders have a roof to help protect the birds and the seeds
from rain and some predators, however, fly thru bird feeders have no
protection from the winds.
With the many different types and styles of wild
bird feeders that are available for you to buy, be sure you have an
idea of what you are looking for and what type of bird you want to attract
to your back yard. Some wooden bird feeders as well as other types
will be better at holding different types
of seeds, which will attract different types of birds.
Whatever you choose, your backyard will be more attractive and welcoming
to birds and people alike.
