Tube Feeders

Tube bird feeders for dry seed, peanuts, finches, and other clinging or perching songbirds.
Which tube feeder fits your birds?
Choose a tube feeder by seed flow, port size, and the birds you want to welcome. PerchKind’s current six-port design uses a clear vertical reservoir, individual perches, and feeding ports at several heights for small seed-eating songbirds. It needs clean, dry food, secure hanging hardware, and routine removal of damp seed and old hulls.

See the dimensions, included parts, and feeding features on the green six-port tube bird feeder product page. Use clean, dry seed sized to move through the ports without compacting, start with a modest amount, and check the lower ports after wet weather.
Placement and routine care
Hang the feeder from a secure hook with a clear approach and enough room to remove the cap or feeder for cleaning. Check after rain, discard damp or clumped food, and let every washed part dry completely before refilling. Project FeederWatch’s feeding-birds guidance also recommends keeping the ground below feeders clean and discontinuing feeding temporarily if disease is suspected.

Tube bird feeder questions
What seed works in a tube bird feeder?
Use clean, dry seed that fits the feeding-port design. Black-oil sunflower seed or sunflower hearts often work in port-style tubes; always check that food flows freely and remains dry.
Why choose several feeding ports?
Ports at different heights give small birds more approach points and can reduce crowding. The number of ports does not replace good cleaning or suitable placement.
How do I know when tube-feeder seed should be replaced?
Discard seed that is damp, clumped, moldy, or contaminated. Check the bottom and lower ports after rain because moisture can collect where it is less visible.
