Feeders: After nearly twenty years of experimenting with commercial feeders and making my own, the best I have found are these simple polythene feeder. They screw onto an empty drinks bottle after firstly drilling two holes for the hanging loop.
Two designs are available. On left is an ideal feeder for sparrows and although it is sold as a nijer or thistle seed feeder, I have found it ideal for mixed feed. (I still use multi hole commercial feeders from garden centres etc for feeding goldfinch their nijer - see my photos in ‘Species Recorded’) On the right is a more open type that is useful for sunflower hearts.
Being for the drier(?) American market, these feeders need drain holes which I add before posting. The only ‘fiddly’ bit is getting the seed into the bottle, but a cheap plastic funnel will do the job.
Ordering: Please e-mail me your detailed requirements or questions and I will supply total cost (multi orders save considerably on postage - try both types) and my address for your payment. Once your personal cheque has cleared your order will be dispatched. e-,mail: williamsonclive@yahoo.com
