We also looked at more general considerations, such as seed capacity and ease of refilling. For example, hummingbird feeders should have a wide mouth to pour in liquid sugar, and any metal bird feeder should be powder-coated to prevent rust. Features are often specific to feeder style, and we’ve highlighted the most notable ones for each model covered. We also cover a range of price points: in general, bird feeders typically cost $50 or less, and we’ve included multiple budget options under $20, as well. Our selection includes bird feeders of every major style, and each of our picks has an average customer rating of four stars or higher. Pro tip: Make sure to clean your bird feeder at least once every two weeks or more in wet weather. Hummingbird feeders have reservoirs for sugar water and should be placed in partial shade. Window feeders typically attach to glass with suction cups and are your best bet for close-up birdwatching. Suet-style feeders feature metal grates to hold suet cakes or bricks, which attract insect-eating birds and including woodpeckers and chickadees. Hoppers, often designed like mini houses or gazebos, tend to have decent seed capacity and can be hung or pole-mounted. Ground and hanging platform feeders have open trays and are ideal for attracting a variety of large and small birds, but aren’t as good for deterring squirrels. Cylindrical tube-style feeders are generally the most popular they have multiple feeding stations and do a solid job of keeping squirrels away.
