What are platform bird feeders you may be wondering and what
is their purpose with feeding birds? Well to put it simply a platform bird
feeder is designed for birds who like to eat bird seed off of the ground. |
Platform bird feeders can be
places slightly above ground, or the can be mounted off a deck a tree or a
stump. You can also order a platform pole mount to mount your platform bird
feeder on a pole.
The main difference between hanging bird feeders and platform bird feeders is
that with a hanging bird feeder the bird seed is dispensed through a crack or a
small opening in the bird feeder. With a platform bird feeder the bird seed is
placed on a platform, or a plate and the birds peck the food from a pile or
scattering.
With a platform bird feeder, or a tray bird feeder the birds that are attracted
depends on the seeds, but if you are using a platform bird feeder, or fly thru
feeder then you may end up seeing a cardinal and other various birds.
Platform bird feeders can also be squirrel proof. By having your platform bird
feeder hang, squirrels are less likely to reach your bird seed, saving you money
and allowing the various birds to eat. Some platform bird feeders, or tray bird
feeders come with a screen big enough for the birds beaks, but too small for the
hands of the squirrels, this is a great feature.
Platform bird feeders and tray bird feeders also know as ground bird feeders are
easy to maintain and clean, and will bring different types of birds to your
backyard than that of a hanging bird feeder. If you decide to buy a platform
bird feeder, be sure that you have an adequate location in your yard before you
make the purchase.
