The Birds In The Garden And Everywhere Else Thread

This is a larger one (more expensive) which I have. After a few years of use the mesh has started to go slightly rusty, but still does its job. There is a cage that can be bought separately.

Edit: to Muteswan re: cage feeder. .

My only reservation with something like that is the small birds become jailbirds if an apex predator rocks up and waits for them.

But the sloped base is exactly what I think will work.

You don’t have to have the cage, but then the larger birds and squirrels chase away the smaller ones. I have one caged and one without. I also put seeds in to a caged feeder so the smaller birds are able to get something.
