Platform Bird Feeders

Platform feeders are a good choice for someone who wants to feed a variety of foods and attract a wide range of birds. Platform feeders are especially good for people who like to put out table scraps such as crusts of bread, vegetable trimmings and pieces of fruit. Large tasty pieces will appeal to big and boisterous birds such as Jays, Grackles, Starlings, Crows, etc. The smaller birds will also enjoy it if you put out cracked corn, sunflower seeds, nuts and berries. Keep the platform feeder clean though, especially if feeding items that might perish quickly in the sun. Some platform feeders come with a roof for protection from rain and some have sides to stop items being either blown off by the wind or hurled off by a discerning Blue Jay.
