Bird Feeders

What type of bird feeder do I need for hummingbirds versus other wild birds?

Canadian Tire offers bird feeders in various shapes, styles and designs to attract all sorts of local birds to your yard. Bird feeders open with perches or trays will attract more wild birds. However, with hummingbirds, you’ll want to find a flying saucer-shaped feeder that uses sugar water. Hummingbird feeders are easy to clean and refill.

How can I keep squirrels and other wildlife out of my bird feeders?

Place bird feeders away from trees or use a squirrel-proof bird feeder pole to keep squirrels and other wildlife from trying to climb up to your bird feeders. For a DIY solution, hang your bird feeders on a wire connected to a pole on each side. You can even re-use plastic bottles and tie them onto the wire to keep squirrels from trying to tight-rope across.
