Bird Feeding Station

If you love the company of birds, and love feeding birds, a bird feeding station can turn your backyard into a virtual aviary.

A bird feeding station is simply a series of bird feeders placed strategically in your backyard or garden. The feeders can be of different types, the same type - different heights, the same height - whatever you desire. A bird feeding station allows you to attract more than one specific type of birds by providing each species the particular type of feeder and foods that it is most attracted to.

You can place many different types of bird feeders in a bird feeding station. In fact, different types add interest to your garden. So you can mix a platform bird feeder with window bird feeders, and you can mix purchased bird feeders with homemade bird feeders.

Where To Place Your Bird Feeding Station

When locating your bird feeding station, you want its focal point to be some place in the garden that is most visible to you from inside your home or from wherever you like to watch them. Usually you'll post various feeders either on top of feeder poles or hanging from feeder poles.

The placement of your feeding station should also be nearby trees. Not directly, underneath the trees, as that would be too accessible to squirrels. But nearby enough for them to escape to if threatened by predators. Even if you have squirrel proof feeders, it is not a good idea to tempt them by placing your bird feeder poles too close to trees.

The type of bird feeding station that you can set up is limited only by your imagination. It can consist of a variety of different types of feeders - tube feeders, hopper feeders, platform feeders, even window feeders.

Building Your Own Bird Feeder Station and Platform Bird Feeders

If you don't want the pressure of designing your own bird feeding station, there are bird feeding station kits that you can purchase. These kits will have everything that you need. The drawback is that it is somebody else's vision of what the perfect bird feeding station should look like. Even so, it can be a good first step if you simply don't know what to do.

If you are handy with tools and you simply lack the inspiration of knowledge as to what to do, you can build your own bird feeding station. You can find plenty of designs (both free and commercial) for bird feeders by searching the Internet, visiting your local pet store, or going to your local library.

You can also find designs for putting together bird feeding stations. Also, don't feel that you have to install your entire bird feeding station over one weekend. Start small with one or two feeders and gradually add more until you have a full fledged wild bird feeding station in your garden.

As part of your bird feeding station, you might also consider supporting it with appropriate plants and shrubs that the bird species you like would be attracted to.

For attracting a wide variety of birds to your back yard, there is nothing better than a bird feeding station.
