The 10 Best Bird Feeders to Buy in 2022

With 15,400 5-star reviews and counting, Amazon shoppers can't stop raving about this window-mounted acrylic bird feeder. Featuring a large removable tray that holds four cups of bird seed, it's equipped with smart drainage holes and an overhang to keep everything fresh and dry. "The construction is great, and the plastic is very thick and sturdy," said one person. Reviewers say the large suction cups are strong (no worries about it becoming unattached!), but easy enough to remove from your window for regular cleanings.

This stylish and affordable feeder is guaranteed to add some flair to your garden. Available in five colors, it can hold over two pounds of seeds, is easy to fill and clean, and comes fully assembled and ready to hang right out of the box. According to one user, the feeder "attracted dozens of birds within a few hours of putting it up" and it only requires a refill every two weeks or so. It's even said to be sturdy enough to last a few years, through all kinds of weather conditions.

Platform-style bird feeders are known for bringing the widest variety of birds to your yard. If that's what you're looking for, this one has impressed more than 2,000 buyers on Amazon. With a coated metal screen bottom for optimal drainage, one reviewer called it "thoughtfully designed and well made." It's also sustainably-minded: This feeder is made of up to 90% post-consumer recycled plastic. Plus, reviewers say it's great for attracting all types of birds.

This copper effect-finished bird feeder is great for attracting wild birds looking for food. It features a large roof to offer shelter and can also hold up to three pounds of seeds. While many reviewers note this to be an attractive feeder that birds love, one reviewer in particular warns that "It is NOT squirrel proof so if you're going to use it where it will be in reach of these scoundrels, I would recommend using a bird seed that contains cayenne pepper — which deters squirrels but doesn't affect the birds."

Available in two colors — brown and blue — this hanging mount bird feeder has a large seed tray and circular perch so that birds can approach the feeder from any angle. It's also rust-resistant and its built-in hanging cable makes it easy to place it almost anywhere in your yard. One reviewer even said that while it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of larger bird feeders,"for a new bird enthusiast (or someone in an apartment), it's perfect!"

Tired of those pesky squirrels getting into the food meant for birds? This squirrel-proof bird feeder is the solution. With a tailored design to make food easily accessible to birds, but difficult to access for squirrels, you'll never have to worry about losing money on bird seed again. Though one reviewer said that it "took the birds a couple days to discover and visit it," once they did, they started flocking to the feeder multiple times a day.

Not every bird likes to perch up high to gather its food; some actually like to feed off the ground. Crafted from heavy duty steel mesh and coated with rust-resistant black powder to make it durable for all weather conditions, this feeder is compact enough to fit almost anywhere. As one reviewer noted, however, this feeder is "pretty small for a ground feeder" and is "good for cardinals."

Whether you're looking to attract cardinals, woodpeckers, or robins, this cute feeder will lure exactly what you're looking for. Reviewers say it's both easy to fill and easy to clean, and this squirrel-proof feeder is sturdy enough to hang on any plain glass window. As many reviewers noted, however, due to its location on a window, it could be weeks before the birds find and adjust to this feeder.

Equipped with six feeding ports, steel hangers, and durable hard plastic, you'll get a 2-for-1 deal with these 15-inch feeders. If their large capacity isn't enough to convince you to make this purchase, a reviewer said that they enjoy both the "ease of top filling" and "sturdy top that closes tightly." Reviewers also say that the six perches are difficult to come by, so this is truly a steal.

Available in six fun styles, this bird feeder is designed specifically for hummingbirds. With the ability to hold anywhere between 10 to 40 ounces of hummingbird nectar, you'll attract plenty of hummingbirds right to your yard. And if you're worried that it will take an extended period of times for the birds to get used to this one, per one reviewer, there was "zero familiarity curve with this feeder, as the first hummingbird came to quaff less than three minutes after hanging up."
