    A Need for New Kind of Seed Catchers

    October 11, 2009 /

    Seed CatchersWith all of the great advancements in backyard birding products, you would think someone would have developed a seed catcher that works with mult-hanger poles and shepherd’s hooks. Squirrel baffles are deigned to work on one pole, yet using one will protect all of the feeders on that pole. See our bird feeder/squirrel baffle set up in the photo at left.  Some pole-mount squirrel baffles have a seam and separate in order to install on the pole.  Why not seed catchers?

    They’re  an excellent item if you’d rather keep the area clean below feeders.  So, then how come they don’t make seed catchers, or seed trays that will work in this fashion? We think it’s an excellent idea, and wish someone would get to work on it soon!

    A Seed Tray Can Create More Feeding Space

    It doesn’t matter if it’s pole-mounted under a feeder, or attached to a hanging feeder, a seed tray offers many benefits to both wild birds and their human feeding friends alike!

    First, you’ll eliminate the mess below the bird feeder. If on a deck or patio, this is a huge help.  If the feeder is in the garden, the seed tray will catch fallen seed to eliminate those ugly, sprouting weeds from popping up, and the dreaded dead patches of grass.

    For feathered friends, you’ll be creating an extra feeding space, and may get to see some different species who won’t actually perch at the feeder itself to eat.  You’ll save money in the long run too with less birdseed going to waste.

    Try A Seed Tray to Prevent Ground Mess

    July 31, 2009 /

    seed trayA versatile little wild bird accessory, the seed tray is usually overlooked and under estimated!

    If you’re tired of the mess below bird feeders, including sprouting weeds, take a closer look at this.  A seed tray that is adjustable to any hanging bird feeder.  Available in two sizes: a 16-inch diameter for globe shape or tube feeders hung from poles or shepherds hooks, and a 30-inch diameter for larger hanging feeders.  They’re called SeedHoops, and are made from durable PVC mesh and nylon.

    The great thing about this type of seed tray is that it actually “adds an extra feeder” by creating a platform where spilled seed accumulates.  Additional birds who may not eat from the feeder itself will venture onto this generous feeding area to feast on spilled birdseed.  By saving seed, you save money too!
