Finch Bird Feeders

Finches are darling little creatures that are wonderful to listen to with their melodic tones and they are ever so cute to watch too as they take care of business. So why not attract them to your neighborhood? Heck why not set up some finch bird feeders and invite them to move in?

These small little bird feeders are available in a variety of styles and sizes and from many different sites online meaning you get great selection and great pricing.

But why not consider building your own? It makes it just a little more special and you can have a little fun too. And if you love crafts it will be one of those projects you’ll wonder why you didn’t try earlier.

Here are some helpful tips for building that bird feeder for your finches.

1. Woods
Use woods that are designed for outside and have not been pressure treated which is harmful to wild life. Cedar, redwood, and cypress are all good choices and so is exterior plywood.
2. Hardware
Your hardware needs to be rust resistant which can be accomplished by purchasing aluminum, steel, stainless, or brass.
3. Easy To Clean
Build all your bird feeders so that they are easy to clean.
4. Exterior Finish
The stains or paint you choose to use must be designed for outside. Use light colors to reduce the heat absorbed and keep your bird residents comfortable and their eggs safe.
5. Avoid Thy Enemy
Birds have enemies and when you are placing the feeders make sure they are located so that the birds are safe from these enemies.
6. Calm
Place the feeders in spaces that are calm. Birds will not like noisy areas where there is too much human activity and auto traffic.
7. Poles
There are a variety of different pole styles available for these feeders and it gives you a lot of flexibility about where you’re going to place it. Check them out!

The tube style feeders are very popular for finches and they are readily available online. So if you decide building your feeder from scratch isn’t for you then perhaps it’s time to go shopping online and find a tube feeder or maybe even a couple of them for your back yard.

If your back yard is large you can strategically place several feeders, however if your room is small consider just placing one in a good location.

Finches eat seed and millet as well as some little bugs. Your feeders should be filled with top of the line seed that promotes healthy wild life. It should not contain heavy preservatives or seeds that are not native to the finch. First of all they probably won’t eat them and if they do it won’t be good for their digestive systems.

If you are unsure about your local finches then do a little research online and find out more about their diet, their living demands, and what they like or dislike.

Finch bird feeders are a great way to start enticing the finches to move into your back yard and there’s a great selection online just waiting to be chosen.
