Tube Bird Feeders

Tube bird feeders typically cater to small birds, but can accommodate birds as big as jays or woodpeckers. Some tube feeders allow you to attach or remove perches and/or feeding trays. Depending upon the configuration, you can attract a wide variety of birds or very limited species. Some tube feeders even have feeding ports that only accommodate black oil sunflower seed or thistle/Njyer seed for finches.

This is a great tube feeder offered from Duncraft. It has 3 tubes so you can offer a wide variety of seed, has a nice cover to protect the seed and the birds in bad weather along with a squirrel fence guard to prevent squirrels from stealing.

This feeder certainly appeals to the goldfinches and one lone chickadee. It all depends what you fill it with. Looks like they have a seed mix in one, black oil in another and a mix of primarily millet in the other. It's your choice.

Some nice deals on ebay also for tube feeders. A lot of sellers are bird watchers themselves. Ask questions if you need to, they'll be happy to respond. Check some of them out:

We recommend getting tube bird feeders that are easy to clean, have multiple ports and are squirrel proof. Tube bird feeders will attract goldfinches, chickadees, titmice, small woodpeckers and a host of other common backyard bird species. Just remember to keep them clean. Clean the tubes with warm water and mild detergent when it's time to refill with seed. Make sure to rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
