The best feeder depends on the birds you want to attract. Hanging feeders suit finches and tits, while our platforms or rain catchers are ideal for robins and blackbirds.

Use squirrel-proof feeders, place feeders away from trees or fences, and try adding a baffle to deter them.

Position it in a safe, sheltered spot, ideally near bushes or trees for cover, but away from predators like cats.

Sunflower seeds attract finches and tits, mealworms are great for robins, and suet is ideal for a variety of species.

Bird feeders should be cleaned at least once every two weeks to prevent disease and maintain a healthy feeding environment.
