The Love Language of Birds: How to Show Them You Care
Make it stand out
Feed Your Feathered Friends with the Perfect Bird Feeder
We all know that love languages vary from person to person, but did you know that birds have their own love language too? For some bird species, it's chirping songs, building nests, or even engaging in elaborate mating rituals. However, if you want to truly show your care and appreciation for our avian friends, providing them with a bird feeder is the ultimate act of love.
Metal Feeders vs. Squirrel Resistant Feeders vs. Hummingbird Feeders vs. Birdhouses
When it comes to bird feeders, there are seemingly endless options to choose from. Metal feeders, squirrel resistant feeders, hummingbird feeders, and birdhouses—all in different colors and styles. So, how do you know which one is right for your backyard birds? Here's a quick breakdown of each type of bird feeder:
Metal Feeders: Metal bird feeders are heavy-duty and built to last. They're also great for attracting a variety of birds because they can be easily filled with different types of seed. If you're looking for a low-maintenance option, metal bird feeders are the way to go. Just be sure to clean them out every so often to prevent mold and mildew buildup.
Squirrel Resistant Feeders: As the name suggests, these types of bird feeders are designed to keep pesky squirrels away from the bird food. If you live in an area with a lot of squirrels, this is definitely the type of bird feeder you'll want to invest in. Just be warned that some squirrels are more persistent than others and may still find a way to get to the bird food (no matter how well-protected it is).
Hummingbird Feeders: Hummingbird feeders are specifically designed to attract these tiny birds to your backyard. They typically have long, slender tubes that are filled with nectar—hummingbirds' favorite food! If you want to bring these beautiful creatures into your yard, investing in a hummingbird feeder is a great place to start.
Birdhouses: Birdhouses serve two purposes: they provide shelter for birds and they're super cute yard decorations. If you're looking for an option that does double duty, look no further than a birdhouse! Just be sure to choose one that's specifically designed for the type of bird you're hoping to attract (e.g., wrens, sparrows, robins).
Tube Feeders: Perfect for small backyards or balconies, tube feeders are a great way to attract a variety of birds. They come in a range of sizes, so you can find one that's just right for your space. Plus, they have perches that make it easy for birds to eat and keep an eye out for predators at the same time.
Hopper Feeders: These feeders are ideal if you want to attract a lot of birds at once. They can hold a lot of seed, so you won't have to refill them as often as other types of feeders. And they have roofs that protect the seed from rain and snow.
Nectar Feeders: Nectar feeders are specifically designed for hummingbirds. They have long tubes that dispense nectar into a small cup, which is just the right size for these tiny birds.
Tray Feeders: If you want to attract a wide variety of birds, tray feeders are a good option. They have large trays that can hold a lot of seed, as well as perches that give birds a place to rest while they eat.
Why Stop at One Feeder When You Can Have Two (or More!)?
Birds are social creatures, so it's important to have more than one feeder if you want to attract a flock. Plus, having multiple feeders will give your backyard some extra flair. Whether you go for a matching set or mix and match different styles, your backyard will be the envy of all the birds in the neighborhood.
