The Blandair Foundation’s Perches & Platform™ Feeder
“A bird feeder designed for avid
backyard birdwatchers.”
This
squirrel-resistant feeder, with its innovative feeding portal* and suspended
tray, performs extremely well in attracting birds, and it permits excellent
viewing of feeding activity.
Through their feeding activity at the portal, perching birds spill
seeds, shells, and debris onto the tray where various birds can readily sort
out the food they desire and where the shells and debris blow away or sift
through the tray, making the feeder both highly efficient and
self-cleaning. However, seeds that
birds find unattractive, and that often are contained in mixes, may accumulate
on the tray, but they can be readily accessed for disposal.
In
contrast with token numbers of surface-feeding birds using perch-type feeders
and token numbers of perching birds using platform-type feeders, both types of
birds use this feeder in substantial numbers.
During
the testing period, birds using the feeder included House Finches, Gold
Finches, Cardinals, Chickadees, White Breasted Nuthatches, White Throated
Sparrows, Titmice, Red Belied Woodpeckers, Cowbirds, Juncos, Mourning Doves,
and Blue Jays – often many birds at one time.
