It is estimated that around half of UK householders feed birds in their garden, providing some 50-60 thousand tonnes of bird food per annum.
Feeding
With the large opening size the owner can expect a wide range of birds visiting to feed. The feeding area can be filled with loose feed or a specialised feeding block fitting perfectly into the base.
Design
The metal construction helps provide weight to reduce the feeder moving in the wind. The brief was to design a contemporary bird feeder that required a low initial investment without tooling.
