Why a Tray Feeder Belongs in Every Backyard
This weekend only, October 3–4, Wild Birds Unlimited is offering 15% Off All Tray Feeders! But beyond the savings, you might be wondering: Why should I add a tray feeder to my backyard setup?
What Makes Tray Feeders Special
Tray feeders are one of the simplest yet most versatile styles of bird feeder. Their open, flat design makes them easy to fill, easy to clean, and adaptable to a wide variety of foods. Unlike specialized feeders, tray feeders invite a broader range of birds, giving you more activity and excitement right outside your window.
The Variety of Birds You’ll Attract
Because of their open space, tray feeders appeal to both perching and ground-feeding birds. Depending on what food you offer, you might see:
- Cardinals and grosbeaks enjoying sunflower seed
- Chickadees and nuthatches grabbing quick bites
- Jays stopping in for larger seeds and peanuts
- Mourning doves and sparrows feeding comfortably
- Bluebirds when you add mealworms
This variety makes tray feeders one of the best “all-around” options for both new and experienced bird feeders.
Seasonal Benefits
In fall and winter, tray feeders become especially useful. Birds are looking for high-energy foods to fuel migration or to stay warm through the colder months. Offering sunflower seed, Bark Butter® Bits, suet nuggets, or peanuts in a tray feeder provides easy access to the nutrition they need.
