aspects278.jpgA popular hanging platform bird feeder is the Aspect Vista Dome Feeder.  The attached protective dome keeps seed dry and prevents squirrels from raiding.  They can spend hours trying but they just slip right off the dome as they try to reach the seed.  Total frustration!  We have been able to lower the dome to make a small opening and the small birds still love it–some even get inside under the dome for a private picnic.  The larger birds just leave it alone.

This is also an excellent birdfeeder for mealworms.  If you are feeding live mealworms, the sides are high and straight enough to keep them in.  If you want to give the birds a real treat, mealworms are it!

Plan to refill your bird feeders as early as possible every morning so the birds are greeted with fresh seeds.  Place your feeder in an open area with cover that is only a couple feet away so the birds can dive for cover if threatened.  Choose a site protected from strong winds.  And of course, place your bird feeders for your viewing and enjoyment.
