6. Tube Feeder
Tube feeders are designed for small birds like finches, titmice, and chickadees. They are typically cylindrical and made of clear plastic, allowing easy monitoring of seed levels. Tube feeders have multiple feeding ports with perches for birds to cling to while feeding.
To make a DIY tube feeder, use a clear plastic bottle or acrylic tube. Drill small holes along the tube and attach perches below each hole. Fill the tube with small seeds, such as sunflower or nyjer seeds. Hang the feeder from a branch or metal pole using a sturdy wire or hook.
