Bird Feeding

Choosing the right bird feeder starts with the birds you want to attract and the space you have available. 

Window bird feeders are ideal for balconies or small gardens, offering an intimate view of feeding behaviour. Hanging feeders suit gardens with trees or hooks, while bird tables and feeding stations work best for larger outdoor areas. 

Look for easy-to-clean designs and sturdy weatherproof materials like metal or hardwood — durable options that last through the UK’s changing seasons and ensure safe, hygienic feeding for wild garden birds.

Types of Bird Feeders We Recommend

Different styles of bird feeders suit different gardens and bird species. 

At Stealth Birding, we’ve selected a thoughtful range that balances design, quality, and practicality — perfect for feeding wild garden birds across the UK.

Tips for Attracting More Birds to Your Feeder

Birds are more likely to visit when they feel safe and the food is fresh. Place your feeders in a quiet spot with clear visibility and nearby shrubs for cover. 

Offer a variety of foods — sunflower seeds, suet, peanuts, and mealworms — to appeal to different species. 

Keep feeders topped up and clean them weekly to prevent disease. Adding a bird bath nearby also helps, as water encourages birds to linger and return frequently.
