Mesh bird feeders are the perfect feeder for small clinging birds such as finches, chickadees and small woodpeckers. The mesh openings are the perfect size to dispense sunflower, safflower and Nyjer or thistle seed. Due to the size of the mesh openings, many feeders are more suitable to one sized seed or another. Mesh feeders discourage larger birds from feeding as they have trouble clinging to the fine mesh.
They come in a variety of shapes and sizes allowing you to select a feeder based on your garden décor. Depending on the shape and size of the feeder, many birds can feed at once and often do! Enjoy watching highly social birds like chickadees and goldfinches interact and feed next to each other. The feeders are easy to fill and experience less seed spillage than other feeders – just keep an eye on the seed at the bottom of the feeder to ensure it stays fresh.
