Heated bird feeders (1 Viewer)

Well-known member
Are there heated bird feeders for sale somewhere? Or heaters to keep the food a few degrees above freezing?

I have seen small birds having difficulties opening the frozen hull of sunflower seeds and now feed only sunflower hearts, but that's still frozen. Birds can certainly eat that too, but if it is not frozen, then perhaps more small birds come to the winter feeder.

I have never seen any heated bird feeders or heaters for bird feeders, though. Any hints welcome
 
I'm not aware.

But heated bins and heated birding places are obvious hole in the market ;)

just dreaming,

I've never seen anything that could help either, would be ideal though. On one of the snowy & freezing days, I checked the feeders from the window after work. I noticed the most popular feeder was still very full, but all the others were empty. I went outside to find the snow was frozen into a barrier & they just couldn't get to it. I clean the openings & the food was all gone the next day.
