The 8 Best Bird Feeders to Fuel Your Feathered Friends

This hanging option features a shingled copper roof that provides shade for birds while they feed and will help them feel at home. It holds up to 2.15 pounds of seed that's encapsulated in a transparent plastic container, so you can see precisely how much is left inside at all times. It's an affordable and adorable option that'll please you and the birds.

Not only will this hefty bird feeder hold five pounds of feed for minimal refilling, but it's also completely squirrel-proof, so contents won't get stolen by pesky munching thieves. When a squirrel climbs onto the feeder, its weight tells the feeder to close the shroud, blocking access to the seeds inside. And because it's made from chew-proof materials, larger animals that like to use backyard items as chew toys won't be able to snag a bite.

We love the clean and elegant look of this copper feeder, and birds will too thanks to its large feeding ports and elongated perches. The clear tube design allows you to monitor seed levels, and when it's time for a refill an easy-to-lift lid makes the process super convenient.

There's no better place to view birds than from the comfort of your own couch. This window-mounted feeder features a transparent acrylic body that allows you to get up close and personal. It adheres with a set of clear suction cups that won't shift with wind or heavy precipitation and features multiple drainage holes to keep the feed dry and fresh.

Ground feeders will flock to this easily accessible seed tray that gives them plenty of room to rest their wings while feasting. Unlike most feeders that only offer a small opening for pecking, this open-air option can be filled with bird seed of any size, or even peanuts, berries, and fruit to attract specific species. It's super convenient to refill, and because you can see just how much seed is left, you'll always know exactly when to do it.

This blooming sunflower design looks more like a decorative garden accent than a bird feeder, but fill its center with seeds and the birds will get the gist. Its seed chamber is surrounded by metal mesh that keeps contents dry while providing a place for birds to cling while they feed.

Hummingbirds are truly a stunning sight to see, so if you're looking to lure them into your yard, traditional seed won't do. Instead, mix a sweet nectar solution containing one part sugar and four parts water, fill up this feeder, and watch them flock. Its bright red color attracts inquisitive hummers, while multiple feeding ports will accommodate several birds at one time.

This affordable, easy-to-fill option may not be as attractive as some of the fancier seed feeders on this list, but birds won't know the difference. Watch all kinds of winged wonders peck away at the suet cake inside, and once they've had their fill, you won't find loose seed scattered on the ground.
