Woodlink Platform Feeder

The most non-selective feeders are the tray, platform or house feedersbecause they allow easy access by all birds. Platform feeders are simple trays that have solid bottoms and sides for holding seed on the platform and providing a perch for the birds. Some have mesh sides designed to reduce use by crows and squirrels. Seed is often tossed off the platform by birds, providing a second feeding area for your birds.

The WoodLink 3-in-1 Platform Feeder (Hang, Pole Mount, or Ground) is one of the most popular platforms around. This versatile platform style feeder attracts the widest variety and the greatest number of birds.
