Why you shouldn't buy a "Cheap" Bird Feeder

Ever wonder why one bird feeder might cost $10 less than another of the same size?  It boils down to quality. A quality bird feeder is designed to last longer and will end up costing you less although the sale price may be higher.

Cheap bird feeders would last forever if it weren’t for one unavoidable problem — squirrels. Squirrels have the intelligence and desire to destroy any bird feeder you may place outside. Cheap bird feeders will not last but a few months. Quality bird feeders are built so that they present a challenge to our little furry friends and have much longer life expectancies.

Squirrels will widen openings to get to the seed inside by chewing whatever piece of plastic they can grasp with their teeth. The portals to quality bird feeders are re-enforced with metal to prevent the squirrel from being able to get a good hold.

Manufacturers of quality feeders like Droll Yankees, Woodstream Feeders and Duncraft Feeders, offer optional equipment such as domes and trays that fit easily onto the original feeder.

The base of a quality tube feeder is designed so no seed is left inside the bottom of the tube where birds can’t reach.

Quality bird feeders will carry a lifetime warrantee. Manufacturers of high-quality bird feeders believe in their product so much that they are willing to replace the feeder if it is ever damaged by squirrels to the extent that the feeder does not work.
