After spending 20 hours researching bird feeders, browsing through hundreds of options, and talking to five experts (including the man who wrote the National Audubon Society’s guide to bird feeding in North America), we recommend the Droll Yankees 18-Inch Onyx Mixed Seed Tube Bird Feeder with Removable Base as the best all-around bird feeder for most people.

Droll Yankees 18-inch Onyx Mixed Seed Tube Bird Feeder with Removable Base

The best mixed-seed feeder

The Onyx was the sturdiest and best-built feeder we tested, yet it’s easy to take apart and clean.

We recommend

Droll Yankees 15-inch Sunflower Tube Feeder

The smaller, less expensive model

This Droll Yankees feeder works just as well as the Onyx, but it doesn’t hold as much seed and lacks the removable base of our top pick.
