9 ways to satisfy a bevy of birds’ appetites.

Bountiful Bowl Feeder

Cole’s Wild Bird Products Co.
This feeder’s compact, adjustable size lets your customers offer a wide variety of seeds for their feathered friends without a lot of work. The open-bowl design can be filled with straight seeds, seed blends, suet kibbles, suet pearls, dried mealworms, fruit, nuts, suet cake pieces and more. It comes with an adjustable dome cover that can be raised or lowered to prevent larger birds and squirrels from getting to the seeds as well as help protect the food from rain or snow.

The AutoFeeder

Wingscapes
This gravity-fed feeder has an internal electronic timer that can be set for up to four releases per day. At the scheduled time, the seed drops into a smaller chamber and a motor turns the internal paddle scoops, and the correct amount of seed is released.

The AutoFeeder is constructed of metal and heavy ABS plastic to withstand abuse. It is also designed to resist squirrels and is weather-proof.

Seed Pies

GreenBird
Plant a bird garden with Seed Pies, which are handmade from recycled paper. Use Seed Pies to grow flowers that produce seeds birds like to eat. It is a natural, green way to attract birds to yards. There are two, 6-inch Seed Pies in each package. If you wish, cut them into slices to make them go further! The paper shell helps retain moisture for germination and also keeps the birds from eating the seed prematurely!
