Metal Feeders
All-steel feeders with nothing to chew, crack or unscrew. The buy-once choice for gardens with determined squirrels.
About our metal feeders
Metal bird feeders are what you buy after a squirrel has eaten your second plastic one. All-steel construction leaves nothing to chew through, nothing to crack in a hard frost and nothing to fade in summer sun - powder-coated steel bodies, ports and lids simply keep working, year after year. That durability is why nearly every serious squirrel-proof design starts from metal, and why heavy duty bird feeders hold their shape through the knocks of a busy garden. There are quieter advantages too. Metal feeders scrub up brilliantly - hot water and a bottle brush return them to nearly new, with no scratched plastic for bacteria to sit in - and steel mesh peanut feeders let the tit family peck safely at pieces, never whole nuts. From seed tubes to nyjer slots to caged designs, if you want to buy once and stop thinking about it, start here. Free UK delivery over £20 and our 100% money-back guarantee.
Metal Feeders - FAQs
Do metal feeders rust?
Not the powder-coated steel we stock - the coating seals the metal against rain and stays sound for years. A wipe-down at cleaning time is all the maintenance the finish needs.
Are metal feeders safe in frost?
Yes. The perches on modern designs are coated or shaped so birds' feet never touch bare frozen metal, and the feeder body is nowhere birds linger. Steel is at no disadvantage in a British winter.
Why choose metal over plastic?
Longevity and squirrel resistance. Plastic ports and lids are exactly where squirrels chew; steel gives them nothing to work on. Metal also cleans better and does not go brittle in the sun.
