Platform Feeder Selection

A platform feeder is a great fit for those just beginning the hobby of bird feeding, as it is hassle-free to set up and simple to fill. Unlike a hopper feeder, which is hung from branches or awnings, a platform bird feeder either rests on a pedestal or is mounted on a bird feeder pole. It is also ideal because of its ability to serve both ground-feeding and perching birds.

Platform bird feeders are available in a number of stylish designs, including popular fly-through models, which feature an open-air wood frame that is particularly attractive to shy birds. Each and every platform feeder at the Backyard Chirper is sold at an affordable price, allowing you to experience the pleasure of bird feeding without breaking the bank.

It's a fantastic product indeed. It's made very well; the birds love it; and it's always well attended by the birds. It was very easy to install in the backyard and it also looks very good. I would highly recommend it.

I love using my meal worm feeder but the bluebirds love it more than me. It took them less than a day to figure it out.The wait for me every morning to feed them. Love it.

I actually got it for squirrels and they love it. I put fruit and nut mixture in it. Birds come to it too. It was very easy to put on a pole with the bracket that I got. Very good construction.
