The caring of man's feathered friends has been a true and favorite pastime for thousands of years. In this day and time, there are millions of bird lovers and bird watchers all over the world.
Today, our feathered friends are treasured as pets, and just as much, as friends passing by, stopping to get a bite to eat in Bird Feeders put out in yards across the country. Treated as weary travelers on their way to places unknown, stopping briefly to brighten our day by sharing their time.
The use of Bird Feeders gives one the pleasure of the bird's company on a casual basis, without needing to worry about the daily care and upkeep that a pet requires. Their only need to be is that the feeder be placed in a safe place, cleaned often and have enough food for a few days at a time.
This article is about feeding the birds and the Bird Feeders that are available to those who'd like to start receiving visits from these aviary friends. People who love birds, do this for the pure pleasure of hearing their chirping and watching all their antics. They are endearing creatures who need to be protected and cared for to the best of our ability.
When deciding to purchase a Bird Feeder, recognize that there are quite a few types of feeders offered, and then multiple variations of those types as well. Whatever the choice, there can be no doubt, as nearly everyone who has taken up this pastime can testify, that all upcoming encounters with nature that takes place in either front or back yard, or wherever the feeder is finally placed, one will be greatly enriched from such an experience.
Some of the types of Bird Feeders are Hanging Feeders, Freestanding Feeders, Window Feeders and Ground Feeders. These are mostly made from wood, mesh, metals and plastic.
Some types of hanging feeders include Tube feeders, Hoppers, Hummingbird feeders and Suet feeders, the latter made especially for Woodpeckers and usually hang in wire enclosures.
The Tube Feeders attract most any kind of Wild Bird - Finches, Cardinals, Blue Jays, Robins and most small birds. Sometimes they are enclosed in a wire frame to keep out predators.
Ground feeders Attract Birds that hop along the ground. Many birds like the Sparrows, the Northern Cardinals and the Mourning Doves, are some of the species that like these feeders. They are not as safe as other feeders as they are open to the many predators, such as cats, squirrels and larger birds.
Free standing feeders are usually more than just feeders. These are generally made into full fledged houses so birds can actually nest in them. They are usually safe from predators, especially if they have a baffle attached.
Window feeders are safe and you can observe the birds consuming their food from up close. If you would like to see the birds nesting, you can also purchase window nesting boxes.
The main thing to keep in mind when you start housing and feeding Wild Birds is to make sure they are mounted or hung securely. Place them in a safe place, protected from winds, weather and predators.
These feeders can be found at most any pet store, home and garden store, online pet shop or a specialty online Birdhouse/Bird Feeder site for an affordable price.
For all those just getting started, feeding and caring for the wild birds will be a wonderful experience for you and a lifesaving experience for the birds. Thank you for your time and good luck in your endeavors.
