Save 25% on Droll Yankees Bird Feeders

Droll Yankees Feeder Whether you're a birding enthusiast or simply looking to get into the hobby, now is a great time to purchase high-quality feeders from Droll Yankees. ALL Droll Yankees feeders are now 25% OFF, and thanks to their superior construction, it may be the only bird feeder you'll ever need!

To help you choose the right feeder, follow these simple tips:

Durability

The ideal feeder withstands weather extremes for years - through cold, wet, windy winters and hot, humid summers. Feeders made from heavier gauge plastic and acrylic and those with metal fittings generally last longest. If you prefer a wood feeder, cedar and cypress are best, and they're environmentally friendly.

Capacity

To avoid constant refilling, select a feeder with ample capacity. One to two quarts is about right. Expect to refill a busy feeding station every 1 to 2 days in winter.

Simplicity

Your feeder should be easy to assemble, set up, fill, clean, and maintain. Consider esthetics, too. Sometimes simple designs look best in yards and gardens.

Safety

Look for a feeder that keeps seed dry, insuring no spoilage. Make sure birds cannot enter a feeder or get their heads stuck in feeding ports.
