Thislte Feeder

Left, is from the National Audoban Society
right, is a less expensive feeder.
Both are filled with thistle seed

Birds prefer the Audoban feeder

this feeder is also from the National Audoban Society (note similarity)
However it is an up-side down feeder!!
this feeder is designed to discourage the non-native house finch
as they can not swallow when upside down
this can lead to some quite enjoyable sights as the bird swings down,
grabs a seed and rights itself to eat it.
This feeder is also filled with thisle seed

these detail photos show the difference
(note the background - not a trick)

Woodpecker Feeder

Squirrles will damage this feeder
