Hopper Bird Feeders

Hopper bird feeders look similar to a house, a lantern or a gazebo and are typically constructed with multiple sides and a roof. These types of bird feeders are becoming very popular with their creative and decorative designs.

Hopper bird feeders are attractive to most birds, including finches, blue jays, cardinals, sparrows, chickadees, and titmice. Several birds can often feed at one time, depending on the design of the hopper feeder and the bird seed used.

These bird feeders protect the seed against the weather, but not as well against squirrels. If using one of these types of bird feeders, you may want to consider purchasing a squirrel baffle that will help prevent the squirrels from climbing on the feeder. Another preventative measure would be to use squirrel repellents. Havahart® carries a variety of effective squirrel repellent products.

Bird seed used in hopper bird feeders are usually either black oil sunflower seeds or mixed seed.   Some hopper bird feeders are designed to hold more than one kind of bird seed, with each type of seed held in a separate compartment.
