Bird feeder accessories can not only help your visiting birds access feeders easily and safely, they can also help you keep the food you provide fresh, reduce waste and keep feeding areas tidy.

Adding something extra

Accessories can enhance your bird feeders by providing tailored feed options for the birds in your garden. Perch rings enable birds to feed from ports at all angles giving them a greater awareness of their surroundings and any potential danger. Feeder cages help the smaller birds feed without the disruption of bullying large birds and Feeder Fresh helps to keep moisture to a minimum keeping the food inside feeders at its best.

What are the best accessories for garden birds?

Some of the best bird feeder accessories for garden birds include perch rings, seed trays, and feeder cages. Other accessories like cleaning brushes help you maintain a clean feeding environment.

How do I stop squirrels from eating from the feeder?

You can stop squirrels from eating food intended for birds by using a squirrel-proof bird feeder, or adding a squirrel baffle to deter squirrels from reaching the food.

What's the one accessory worth buying first?

If squirrels regularly visit your garden, a squirrel baffle is one of the most useful accessories to add to a feeder pole. A baffle can help prevent squirrels from climbing the pole and gives protection to several feeders at once, rather than just one. For best results, position it around 1.2–1.5 metres (4–5 feet) above the ground and keep the feeder pole well away from branches, fences, walls and other potential launch points. Correct height and clear space around the pole are key to making a baffle effective.

Do base trays actually help?

Yes, a base tray can help catch food that falls from a bird feeder, reducing the amount of seed that reaches the ground. This can help keep the feeding area tidier and reduce the food available to rats and other ground-feeding visitors. A tray can also provide an additional feeding surface for birds such as blackbirds and dunnocks, although larger trays may attract pigeons. Choosing a suitably sized tray can help balance food collection with the species you want to encourage.

What do I need for cleaning?

A dedicated bucket, long-handled brush and suitable gloves are useful for cleaning bird feeders thoroughly. Choose a brush that is long enough to reach the full length of the feeder tube, with a diameter that allows you to scrub the inside without damaging the feeder. Keeping your cleaning equipment separate from household items and storing it outdoors can make regular cleaning more convenient. Check brushes regularly and replace them when the bristles become worn or no longer clean the feeder effectively.

Is a weather guard worth having?

A weather guard can be particularly useful if your bird feeder is in an exposed position. A dome over the feeder helps protect feeding ports and food from rain, helping to keep seed drier and fresher for longer. It can also provide some shelter for birds while they feed and may make access more difficult for some larger birds. If your feeder is already well sheltered, such as beneath a tree canopy, a weather guard may be less important.
