It’s Not a Tray, not a hopper, nor a tube bird feeder
It’s deemed the “All Weather Feeder” and rightfully so!An innovative design keeps seed dry- no matter what! Rain, snow and sleet can not penetrate this durable feeder because unlike a typical tube bird feeder, the seed ports are totally protected from the elements, even from driving, blowing rain.
Birds perch on a generous seed tray, and eat seed from above. The design consists of a built in weather guard, that overhangs and protects seed ports (and birds too). The All-Weather Feeder is available in a four or 6-quart capacity, and may be pole mounted or hung. There’s also an optional squirrel guard, or cage that fits around the open feeding area to keep pesky squirrels out! Stainless steel construction along with sturdy polycarbonate casing means this feeder won’t yellow with age either.
The optimal seed for this cool feeder is black oil sunflower, or a mix of safflower and black oil. Striped sunflower is actually too large for the seed ports. If you’re looking for a truly weather-proof bird feeder, this is it! By the way… it ships for free too 🙂

new wave kind of tube bird feeder
A substantial sized feeder is good… because you simply don’t have to fill them as often. In general, hopper feeders tend to be on the larger size, while tube bird feeders usually hold less seed. This is okay if you don’t have much bird traffic, but right now it seems everyone is fattening up for fall and the yearly migration to southern climates.This tube bird feeder is way cool, just the way it looks is pretty darn groovy in itself. I like it because it holds four pounds of seed, and is hand crafted i the USA. Super quality means it will be around for many seasons, and it’s made in two styles; for black oil sunflower or thistle seed. When the perches are all full… it’s really a pretty impressive site to behold.
Finches, Chickadees, Titmice, Nuthatches, and other small songbirds can be seen at a tube bird feeder. This past summer, we were lucky enough to see a few Indigo Buntings at the tube bird feeder in our yard.
As always, a fresh water source, such as a bird bath will always entice more birds than any feeder itself, especially with the severe drought in the Southeast. You can help migratory birds by keeping feeders full and fresh, offering suet and fruit, and a fresh water source in your yard. Something as simple as a large plant saucer filled with water can serve as a birdbath and oasis for many feathered friends!

A Groovy kind of tube bird feeder
You might call this a hopper type bird feeder, but it has perches and there’s no tray at the bottom. You could call it a tube bird feeder, but it really doesn’t resemble one of those either.We call it the Wave Bird Feeder because of the groovy design. Hand crafted cedar and superb quality, this tube bird feeder is available for black oil sunflower and thistle seed too. With ten feeding ports and a four-pound capacity, it will entice many a feathered friend!
A quality tube bird feeder like this is a good investment for any backyard bird habitat. For use year-round, seed stays protected from the elements. If squirrels are a problem in your yard, a baffle is highly recommended to protect the feeder. Whether feeding sunflower or thistle, you can bet your birds will approve!
