With so many designs and styles to choose from these days, buying (or building) a bird feeder can be a bewildering experience. Should you get a “squirrel-proof” one with a wire cage that birds have to navigate? Will a simple tube feeder do? How much seed will that cute little plastic number hold?
Then there’s all those bags of food to put in the feeder. What’s in all those mixes, anyway? Are all those suet cake flavors necessary?
