Use Hopper Bird Feeders to Hold More
The backyard birding experience is about watching wild birds, their behaviors and songs, and their interactions in the habitat you’ve provided. At times it can be captivating, watching nature thrive, close up in your yard. It can literally “take you away” from the day-to day mundane, to the extraordinary.
Maintaining feeders is large part of this great hobby – cleaning and filling them. It’s the responsible thing to do if you’re attracting birds to gather in rather unnatural groups and eat from these feeders. If you’re looking to spend less time filling and more time viewing, hopper bird feeders are a perfect choice. Hoppers tend to hold more seed than tube type feeders.
Large capacity hopper bird feeders will entice a good variety of species as well. Just about any kind of seed mixes will work with them, and some even offer suet cages for more food variety. We like to use sunflower hearts, as there is no waste or ground mess to deal with. This seed may cost a couple of bucks more, but is well worth it in the long run.
The hopper bird feeder shown above is constructed of durable cedar, and holds 11 quarts of seed, it even offers two suet cages that will attract different species. These feeders are also available in recycled plastics that are guaranteed to never crack, split or fade. Whether wood or plastics, with hopper bird feeders you’ll spend less time filling and more time watching!

Solstice Hopper Bird Feeder
When one thinks of a hopper bird feeder, the image is usually that of wood. Maybe a nice cedar, that lasts until pesky squirrels start to chew it up. New bird feeders come in great materials that are meant to last for many years of use and enjoyment. Not to mention really fun, high style designs.
This hopper bird feeder is appropriately called the “Solstice”. With it’s fantastic celestial theme, it’s totally functional, holding about 5 quarts of seed. The satin finish metal roof and trim are actually better than wood because they are not porous. This type of feeder is less likely to aid in the spread of germs and mold among the bird population feeding in the yard. Cleaning is much easier too as opposed to wood.
Keep this one thought in mind for your next feeder purchase…non-porous materials are actually healthier for your birds.
