If you have to refill your wild bird feeders often, an ideal alternative is to set up feeders that offer larger capacity. After all, a feeder that is frequently empty will force your birds to someone else's feeder. So, you may ask, what is considered a large capacity feeder? For the sake of comparison, we've chosen our mixed seed feeders that offer capacity of at least 4 quarts and thistle feeders that offer capacity of at least 2 quarts. When you
select one, you will refill less often, and still get the style and features you enjoy with smaller feeders. And, you'll find one in your price range, too.
