Hopper feeders are large capacity feeders with a roof. The roof keeps the seed relatively dry and with the large capacity they do not need to be refilled as often. Hopper feeders attract chickadees, finches, sparrows, cardinals and many others.

Tray feeders are liked by many types of birds. The tray allows easy access to the birds as well as squirrels and other unwanted rodents. The seed is exposed to the moisture and weather so the seed may grow moldy or stale quickly. A tray feeder also needs to be refilled and cleaned of bird droppings regularly. Tray feeders attract pigeons, jays, crows, blackbirds, cardinals and many others.

Tube feeders are feeders that consist of a tube filled with seed and small holes and perches along the sides. The tube effectively protects the seed from moisture. Tube feeders attract finches, chickadees and woodpeckers.

Suet feeders consist of a wire mesh cage and a suet mixture within it. These attract woodpeckers, chickadees, mockingbirds, jays and others.

Hummingbird feeders are containers that hold a sugar solution. The solution should be changed often to avoid fermenting. These attract hummingbirds and orioles. See Mahalo's guide to Hummingbird Feeders for extended information.
