Feeder size guide

Ultimate vs Classic range

The green lid, base and perches of our Ultimate bird feeders are made of durable zinc alloy, making them longer-lasting and suitable for gardens with squirrels and parakeets. (If these visitors usually destroy your bird feeders, you'll find the zinc alloy parts on our Ultimate feeders resist damage from claws and teeth, so your Ultimate feeder will last much longer.) Both ranges are Easy-clean® and feature a UV-stabilised polycarbonate tube that won't weaken or discolour in the sun, and both now feature the same comfortable ring perch design.

Nyjer seed vs other seed feeders

Nyjer seed is very fine and can flow too quickly out of a non-specialised bird seed feeder, ending up on the ground or going to waste. Normal bird seed feeders are designed to allow foods such as sunflower hearts or oats to filter through to the birds waiting hungrily on the perches. The Nyjer feeders feature smaller ports to ensure the Nyjer seed does not flow too quickly. You can also add our Ultimate Seed tray to provide extra perching space and reduce waste further.

Popular with beautiful birds such as finches (particularly goldfinches and greenfinches) and siskins, tiny nyjer seeds are extremely nutritious and rich in oil. This provides a wonderful energy source for garden birds, helping to build fat stores and keep them warm. Nyjer seeds are also rich in protein which is essential for the re-growth of feathers throughout the year.
