Another quality bird feeder from Perky Pet, this fly through feeder has two fly-through feeding stations and holds 2 lbs of sunflower seeds or peanuts. The mesh on all 4 sides makes it easy to watch birds eat at the feeder. This feeder will attract a variety of birds including several species of woodpecker, chickadees, wrens, finches, sparrows, and more.

7. 
A unique little coffee pot/teapot shaped bird feeder from Perky Pet, this powder coated all mesh feeder is great for black oil sunflower seeds, peanuts, or mixed seeds and will attract many different birds.

The camera connects to your smart phone over wi-fi, so you can stream live video to your phone of what’s going on at the feeder any time you want!

9. Petsfit Outdoor Bird Feeder Stand
9. 
This impressive stand alone feeder comes in 47 or 50 inch tall sizes. Made of Finnish spruce wood and treated to be water resistant, it should hold up well in the weather for a long time. It features a feeder platform with a roof at the top, and a second feeding tray along the post.
10. Home Bazaar British Inspired Police Call Box Feeder
10. 
This classic British telephone booth bird feeder is definitely built to be more novelty than functional. While it is a functioning bird feeder that holds 2 lbs of bird seed, has drainage holes, and can be hung in your yard, from what I can gather from some Amazon reviews it is not the best quality. It may be best for purely decorative purposes or placed in a location where it safe from the elements outdoors. Might be a must have for Dr. Who lovers.
11. Cast Iron Umbrella Bird Feeder with Hanging Frog
11. 
This unique and small novelty bird feeder is made from heavy duty cast iron, so it’s quite solid and durable. Hanging from a metal hook is a dark black and green umbrella with a small dish for seeds, and a cute smiling frog hangs below. A charming piece for any garden.
12. Bottom’s Up Whimsical Gnome Bird Feeder
12. 
This novelty feeder is perfect for gnome lovers and fairy garden aficionados! A cheerful gnome lays on top of a red mushroom, with a tray for birdseed below. A good feeder for any type of seed or mixed in nuts and dried fruits. This design is probably best for small birds.
13. Heritage Farms Cattail Wire Mesh Bird Feeder
13. 
This unique feeder stakes into the ground and stands just like a real cattail. Would blend beautifully in a garden, around a pond or other landscaping. Wire mesh will allow birds to cling and feed all around the tube. Three feet tall, powder coated steel to stand up to the weather. Holds 1/2 pound of seeds or peanuts.
14. Alpine Corporation Bear Swinging on Tire Bird Feeder

This feeder features a cute black bear hanging on to the side of a tire swing. Place the bird seed inside the tire and hang the feeder in your garden, from a tree, or wherever you see fit. A great addition to a cabin or vacation home.
15. C&S Ready-to-Use Peanut Delight Log
15. 
While this isn’t a reusable feeder, you’ll get plenty of bang for your buck with a pack of eight 1lb peanut suet logs. These logs come ready to hang (supply your own chain to hang it from) and can go anywhere in the yard. Woodpeckers, chickadees, nuthatches and many others will love this…it might even become more popular than your bird seed!
16. Wine Bottle Bird Feeder
16. 
This bird feeder is made from a wine bottle, this Etsy seller did a really good job too! These customer wine bottle feeders have one feeding port, are easy to refill, and make great gifts for anyone who enjoys feeding birds. It’s easy to hang with the included chain. Maybe better for small birds like titmice and chickadees because of the small perch.
17. Perky-Pet Sapphire Starburst Vintage Glass Wild Bird Feeder
17. 
This cool looking blue glass bird feeder is pretty, well-made, and quite unique in my opinion. It hangs from hooks and hangers like a typical bird feeder and the glass bottle screws and unscrews from the base for easy refilling and cleaning. It only holds about a half pound of birdseed so it’s not that big. The vintage/antique look is very eye-catching.
18. REZIPO Hand Blown Glass Hummingbird Feeder
18. 
This blown glass hummingbird feeder certainly has more visual flair than your standard plastic feeder! It comes in multiple color combinations, can hold 38 0z of hummingbird nectar, and would make a great gift. It’s a beautiful hummingbird feeder, is quality made, and has great reviews on Amazon. Very bright and artistic!
19. Evergreen Garden Sunflower Bird Feeder
19. 
This hanging bird feeder closely resembles a sunflower. The petals are made of glass and the center is made of mesh and holds about 4.5 cups of bird seed, and how appropriate that sunflower seeds work best for this feeder. The mesh holes are on the larger side so small mixed bird seed will fall right out. This unique bird feeder would look great in a garden, especially a sunflower garden!
20. CHILIPET Mushroom Shaped Hanging Bird Feeder
20. 
This whimsical mushroom feeder would be great for anyone who loves nature, cottage decor, fairies, Alice in Wonderland, or even Super Mario brothers! The mushroom top opens and you store your bird seed in the fat, mesh stem. The bright colors supposedly attract more birds than other feeders. It’s reasonably priced and would make a neat gift.

Any Northern Cardinal fan is going to love this one. The Amish craftsmanship on this wood cardinal bird feeder is impressive. It’s made by AmishHomeOutdoor on Etsy and they have some other really great options for handmade bird feeders and bird houses.

Electroplating is when a non-precious metal is plated with a thin layer of a precious or semi-precious metal. This bird feeder is made of a “metal material” that is plated with bronze, this gives it a unique but high quality appearance.
