Bird Watching: Show me your feeders!, 1 by Marilynbeth

Here are 4 of my feeders; a tube feeder that has a cage around it to keep big birds out, a house feeder that has 'wide' sides for the birds to eat and feed on (I don't fill it up with seeds, since its too heavy), a small glove feeder that I fill sunflower seeds in and an upside suet feeder that holds 2 cakes (feed suet year round).

I also have 2 upside down thistle feeders (just for the Goldfinches, the House Finches can't do it) and 4 Hummingbird feeders that have perches (Hummers like the perches so they can sit and drink).

I only have the Hummingbird feeders out from April to October and only use clear sugar water solution. 2 are in the front (we can watch from living room window) and the other 2 are in the back (we can watch from the kitchen and/or the patio door). I change the solution daily so they always have fresh solution.

Edited to say...... that I just noticed that the Suet feeder is cut off by half - its twice as long.
