Unique Bird Feeders Tips
- Attracting particular birds and keeping them coming back to your backyard will be determined by where you live, and the time of year.
- A good idea is to start with a wooden platform above ground level.
- Experiment with different bird seed and pieces of fruit.
- Observe which birds are in the neighbourhood before you spend money on a unique bird feeder. No point in buying a feeder that only holds peanuts if your visitors are mostly small birds. I find that a general purpose feeder will keep most common garden birds happy throughout the year.
- Choose a spot that is easy to get to. When the weather is bad and birds need feeding the most, you just may not feel like wading through mud to fill a feeder that is not in a convenient spot. Also, pick a spot where dropped seed shells and bird droppings won’t be a problem to clean up.
- If you have squirrels in your neighborhood, they will visit your feeder. Don't hang anything from a tree branch if you don't want to feed the squirrels. A squirrel-proof feeder or a feeder on a pole with a baffle is the best solution.
- What about a fun bird feeder for hummingbirds? The most popular hummingbird feeder is flower shaped, red or pink colored and usually plastic. I enjoy viewing hummingbirds at a window bird feeder.
- Long-lasting and sturdy metal bird feeders are always a good addition and make great gifts.
My BEST Unique Bird Feeders
I had a really hard time choosing just 2 "best" feeders - so have given you more choice than usual. I hope you find one that you just have to have in your garden!
Hanging Bird Feeder "Copper Spiral"
Made in the USA, this unique birdfeeder consists of solid copper that spirals that create a functional garden artwork!
Two interlocked "swirls" create a tray for the birdseed as well as an overhead baffle to shelter the seeds and birds.
Includes an attached copper hanger.
The roof is large enough to protect the seed from most rains. But if the rain blows into the seed holder, the drain hole and design of the feeder allow for very fast drainage.
It will weather to a nice green patina.
Parasol Bouquet Basketweave Shelter Hummingbird Feeder 
I love this unusual feeder!
It is Pagoda style with a rustic tin roof that shelters the specially designed basket weave feeder.
It has 4 feeding stations and holds 16-ounce of nectar
Made with recycled glass
I like the design, the durability of the glass and the metal perches.
And it also got a thumbs-up from my feathered garden friends.
Celestial Sun Moon Face Wall Bird Feeder
Add a work of art to your garden!
This is a solid piece of wall art with much more detail than shows in the photo.
Made of cement resin mix, it can even be used indoors.
Comes already with holes in the back for hanging.
Star embellishments decorate the moon's face.
Glazed Blue Ceramic Bird Feeder
Attract birds with this elegant ceramic bird feeder and beautify your garden space!
It is a really attractive design with two birds perched on the rim.
Finished in glazed blue color, you can fill it with seed and fruit. Or use as a bird bath.
Measures 9"x9.5"x4.5"H.
Perry's Vinster Hummingbird Feeder
All I can say is that is so pretty!
It makes a great gift for any bird lover and adds charm to a garden or patio.
Even when the birds are not visiting - which they will - the colours and shape make a lovely focal point.
