FAQ
How to choose the right bird feeder?
When choosing a bird feeder, consider the type of bird you wish to attract and the seed you’re using. Bird feeders come in various forms suitable for different bird species and diets, including tube feeders, hopper feeders, trays, hummingbird feeders, and specialty feeders.
The Audubon Society has an excellent site to aid you in feeder selection. Quality is also an important measure when selecting a feeder. A high-quality feeder will last many years, attract more birds, and be easier to clean than a down-market model. High-quality feeders, such as those from our Aspects line, often come with a lifetime unconditional replacement parts guarantee.
How to choose the right suet?
High-quality suet has little or no filler and a high percentage of fat, making it appetizing to bug-eating birds. Our premium-quality suet products include various blends, many of which add nuts or insect larvae to increase their nutritional value and attractiveness to birds.
