Product Description

Bring natural beauty and functionality to your backyard with the Nature's Way Cedar Hanging Platform Feeder. Constructed from premium, insect and rot-resistant cedar using rust-free stainless steel screws, this feeder is designed to provide years of birding enjoyment. The elegant feel and innovative design of this platform feeder make it a favorite among bird watchers who appreciate both quality and aesthetics.

Platform feeders are one of the most versatile feeder styles available. The open tray design provides ample space that attracts larger birds like cardinals, jays, and mourning doves which otherwise rarely visit tube or hopper feeders. The extra spacing accommodates multiple birds comfortably, allowing you to observe several species feeding simultaneously. The tray format enables you to offer the widest variety of seed types - from sunflower seed to peanuts, mixed seed, and even dried fruit.
