Bunting Feeders

Bunting feeders are designed to support the feeding habits of bunting, which are colorful songbirds that feed primarily on seeds and insects. While buntings are foragers by nature, they'll often eat from tube feeders and seed trays or platform-style feeders. Choose bunting feeders that accommodate small seeds like millet, nyjer, or sunflower hearts with features like cages or covers to deter larger birds.

Chewy's selection of bunting feeders includes mesh tube feeders, hoppers, suet cages, and tray feeders. There are even smart feeders equipped with motion-activated cameras that enable you to monitor feeder activity from your phone. Here are some things to consider when shopping for bunting feeders:

• Sheltered design: Sheltered feeders often help small birds like buntings feel secure.

• Ground-feeding style: Some buntings prefer covered ground feeders or trays.

• Seed compatibility: Choose a feeder suited to the type of seed you plan to offer.

• Mounting style: Hanging feeders should be mounted securely on poles or in shrubs.

• Ease of cleaning: Removable panels provide easy access for cleaning.

Bunting feeders can help create a welcoming feeding area that encourages longer visits and repeat use. When paired with appropriate food and placed in a quiet, visible location, bunting feeders can support consistent backyard activity from these striking birds.
