Looking Out for the Little Ones
Underdogs. We love to love them.
Given the choice between the big bully and the undersized kid who would lose 99% of the time, we root faithfully for that slim 1%, come from-behind, Cinderella story.
Well, it's no different when it comes to people's favorite birds.
Many want to only feed the cute, small birds that are typically scared away from feeders by larger, more dominant birds such as pigeons, jays, doves, and other bullies of the backyard.
So how do we help these little guys?
It's possible to even out the playing field with specially designed feeders that discourage the larger, intimidating birds. The Clingers Only™ Feeder will exclusively feed birds that can cling and fit in a small area. It's perfect for chickadees, titmice, nuthatches and even the smaller woodpeckers.
The Cling-a-Wing™ and the Super Cling-a-Wing™ have no perches, only round seed ports from which birds must hang in order to eat - an entertaining prospect since many hold on in unbalanced positions to get their food.
These are just a few of our wide variety of feeders that cater to smaller birds. Stop by this month and we'll help you find the one that attracts the birds you want and gives those underdogs a feeding chance
