The Copper Finish Triple Tube Feeder The Trio Bamboo Feeder The Grandview Double Hopper with Dual Suet Cage The Evenseed Silo Feeder

It seems like a best case scenario – fewer feeders providing a more varied offering of seeds, nuts, suet, and fruit. Consider one feeder filled with three different seed options, or a divided hopper feeder with two suet baskets attached. Utilizing a combination feeder offers an opportunity to streamline your feeding station, and add more varieties of wild bird foods. There are impressive examples of combination feeders being offered by a number of companies. We’ll help you do a little research to give you a head start on finding a combination feeder that will work best for you.

Consider the Copper Finish Triple Tube Feeder by Perky-Pet that boasts a 10 pound seed capacity and allows you to offer a seed mix in one tube, nyjer seed in another tube, and sunflower chips in the third – that’s a workhorse of a feeder! Plus the copper finish is decorative, and the top dome keeps rain, snow, and squirrels from accessing the feeder. See https://www.perkypet.com/perky-pet-copper-finish-triple-tube-bird-feeder-7103-2

Perky-Pet has another attractive triple compartment feeder with a 3 pound capacity, the Trio Bamboo Feeder will save space and brighten up your feeding station. Combine it with the copper feeder described above, and your yard will really come to life. See https://www.perkypet.com/perky-pet-trio-bamboo-feeder-bamtrio

The Grandview Double Hopper with Dual Suet Cages by Duncraft permits you to offer two kinds of seeds or seed mixes, plus two different suet mixes for a real bird buffet. See https://www.duncraft.com/Choice-of-Four-Foods-Feeder

For birders living along the southern portions of Texas, California, and Florida where orioles can be found throughout the year, a Recycled Plastic Oriole and Bluebird Feeder provides twin ports for cut oranges and a dish for jelly.
