Bird Feeder Stands

Buy the best bird feeder stands selected and recommended by interior designers. By Tara Gosselin.

There is something peaceful about watching birds eat in a bird feeder. But sometimes, vermin like squirrels get into the feeder and ruin them, stealing all the seed and chasing the birds away. Putting your bird feeder on a bird feeder stand can fix that. Squirrels can't climb them, leaving all the yummy seeds for the myriad of avian visitors attracted to the free food.

Buying Guide

The best bird feeder stand for small birds is a seed feeder with tiny fittings onto which they can perch, as a wider tray could end up attracting larger birds first.

You could also consider more ornamental ceramic or terracotta models that are made to look like birds or other pleasant designs but aren’t wide enough to accommodate large birds.

Adjustable bird feeders (e.g. as a dome or birdhouse) can also let you decide how big of a gap you want to leave.

Finally, another handy solution is to choose a bird feeder stand that’s surrounded by a cage: that way, only small birds will be able to fly through it and access the actual feeder with food.

If you’re looking to attract birds, the bird feeder stands that you should be looking at are hopper feeders. These are the feeders that most birds find attractive, including cardinals, grosbeaks, sparrows and more! However, you should also be aware that hopper feeders attract squirrels, so keep your hopper feeders off the ground to avoid squirrels eating all of the bird food.

Bird feeders do not attract rats. Rather, the rodents are drawn by the easily available seeds and bird food that falls to the ground. Poorly stored seed as well as discarded seed tossed out by the birds themselves is the primary reason rats will keep coming.

A rat can easily climb up a bird feeder but why do that when there is a more reachable source of food at ground level? Therefore, preventing seeds and bird food from falling and settling on the ground is the most effective way to keep rats at bay. You could do this by attaching a seed tray near the bottom of the feeder. The tray will catch falling nuts, seeds and fruits.

But just in case there are rodents that would be tempted to climb into the feeder, use a squirrel baffle. Make sure the baffle is at least five feet above the ground as well as 10 feet from any elevated object (such as a roof or tree) that could be used as a launching pad.

The feeder must be in an open area. Rats are afraid of avian predators and will want a sheltered route to a food source. Get rid of any sheltered, undisturbed areas as these are a perfect refuge for a rat population. If all else does not work, consider more aggressive pest control methods such as rat traps.
