Bird Feeder
A birdfeeder, bird table, or tray feeder are devices placed outdoors to supply bird food to birds (bird feeding). The success of a bird feeder in attracting birds depends upon its placement and the kinds of foods offered, as different species have different preferences.

Bird feeders often are used for birdwatching and many people keep webcams trained on feeders where birds often congregate, with some even living just near the bird feeder. Types of feeders Seed feeders Seed feeders are the most common type of feeders. They can vary in design from tubes to hoppers and trays.
