Tube feeders are wonderful additions to any backyard! These cylindrical feeders are self-contained, so bird seed stays dry. They are capable of holding a good quantity of bird food so upkeep is simple and they accommodate several birds at once due to the number of perches on these
tube feeders. When shopping for tube bird feeders it is important to look for a sturdy feeder with well-designed feeding holes so as to reduce the spillage of seeds. YourBirdOasis recommends purchasing a tube feeder that has heavier metal used on the top and bottom of the feeders that makes a feeder more stable. Typically tube feeders attract such birds as goldfinches, purple finches, pine siskins, chickadees, and house finches.If you enjoy watching goldfinches feed, we recommend filling your
tube feeders with niger or thistle seed. Niger looks like a very small grains of wild rice and is a classic in backyard bird feeding. Other finch attracting feed include sunflower seeds and millet.
