Small Busines Bird Feeder Makers (1 Viewer)

Hello, new user here. My wife and I enjoy watching and taking pictures of the finches and cardinals etc. outside of our kitchen window. I would like to purchase a new feeder and or feeders to enjoy. Having been involved in small business I would like to support small businesses that build feeders. Are there any suggestions for small bird feeder makers to buy from. Thank YOu

Let me be the first to welcome you to the forum!

I have a feeling that most non-foreign makers are small businesses, the exception being that a small outfit was bought out by a major corporation. What I would do would be to find ones I liked, check out the packaging, and then research the company online.

The Droll Yankee company came to mind immediately, but I haven't had dealings with them for years.

^^^ And I see the Droll Y people are still proudly all-American at least. Also, Googling 'small business bird feeders' brings up this type of retail site, I see some of the makers can be nothing but small businesses.

Hope this helps!

Thank you. It is hard to tell these days who the smaller operators are especially in new product a person is not familiar with.
