Recommended by Christina Darlington, Owner

  • "My favorite feeder is a large tray feeder with a dove guard (2 inch openings).  I have this on my pole system with a baffle.  The feeder allows cardinals, finch, chickadees, etc. in to eat, while at the same time, preventing doves and grackles from getting in.  The battle stops the squirrels from having lunch too.  It is easy to fill and clean."
  • "I love the Tree Nutty Plus in the winter.  it has lots of fat to keep the birds nourished including Bark Butter Bits.  I change to a No Mess blend in the summer, typically the No Mess NM CD, because it provides calcium for the growing fledglings."

Recommended by Kara Sue, Lakeline Store Bird Feeding Specialist

  • The Fundamental Feeder is a favorite.  It's simple, durable, and perfect for attracting a diverse range of backyard birds BUT will keep doves, grackles and squirrels off.  
  • A platform feeder with a rain guard is great for cardinals, wrens, chickadees, titmice and more! 
  • Sun Chips - "All birds love it, very clean and tidy."
  • Tree Nutty - "Brings a party to the yard!" Even has suet bits in the mix!
  • NutraSaff - "Higher in fat & protein and cardinals in my yard prefer it!" Plus, squirrels don't usually like the bitter taste.

Blaine's recommendations, a Lakeline Bird Feeding Specialist

  • Blaine loves tube feeders, vertical seed cylinder feeders and Hanging by a Limb feeders.  "I get every kind of bird imaginable for this area with the combo of these three feeders.  I will see over 10 different kinds of birds every day."
  • No Mess NM CD is great for both loose seed and cylinders. 
  • Must have Bark Butter for my Hanging by a Limb feeder.

Recommended by Ingrid, Store Manager

  • "I love the Eliminator.  It holds a good amount of seed and prevents doves and squirrels from taking over the feeder."
  • "I've been feeding Tree Nutty Plus for 7 months.  It brings all of the birds to my yard, including woodpeckers, warblers and kinglets."

 


Highlights by Liza, Facebook Specialist

  • "My favorite feeder is the quick clean, mesh finch feeder.  I love watching the whole flock show up and take turns feeding! The mesh feeder allows more room and more goldfinch! It makes me laugh every time I see them feeding upside down on the mesh.  It's also nice that the goldfinch are the only birds that really eat nyjer much and squirrels don't care for it."
