Hopper bird feeders are a popular choice for feeding wild birds because
unlike open platform bird feeders, they have an enclosed container or hopper
that holds the bird seed and keeps things more tidy and sanitary.
Here are some of the best hopper bird feeders we could find based on ease of
use, including refilling and cleaning.

is a great all-around squirrel proof bird feeder with an extra large,
squirrel baffle hood. Because of its large size and angled rim, squirrels cannot
reach the seed and simply fall off whilst attempting to steal - how baffled they
become from the ultimate
squirrel baffle!
This hopper feeder is constructed
of heavy duty plexi-glass for long lasting durability and holds about 10 pounds of bird
seed. Easy to clean and easy to fill. It comes in your choice of either
clear, red, green and blue tops.

Look for hopper style bird feeders that are made from heavy duty material that will
hold up to the sun and weather. The easier it is to fill the feeder as well as
remove the hopper, if possible, for cleaning is best. If you want a large
variety of birds to visist your backyard bird feeder, make sure you get one
where the perching area is big enough to accommodate larger birds such as
cardinals and grosbeaks. If you know squirrels are a problem in your area, then
you may want to consider getting a squirrel proof bird feeder or at least
install a squirrel baffle.
