Learn how to make your garden a retreat for songbirds by providing the right access to food and water.

Select a hopper feeder that typically is constructed of wood with four walls and a top to protect birdseed from the elements if you want to attract songbirds of all sizes and shapes. These feeders are usually available in bigger sizes that require less-frequent filling. The size of the feeder can also affect the size of the bird that can comfortably feed there. Large perching birds like blue jays and tree-clinging birds such as woodpeckers and nuthatches can grasp the textured wooden surface of a hopper feeder and even hang upside down. Both would have difficulty on the slippery little perches on other types of feeders intended for smaller birds.
