birdfeeders
Backyard avian dispensers
Birdfeeders are devices that hold seed, suet, or nectar to attract and feed wild birds.
They hang from trees or posts, or mount on windows, and come in designs suited to different species—tube feeders for finches, platforms for cardinals, hummingbird feeders with red ports.
The squirrels keep raiding our birdfeeders.
Also spelled as two words: bird feeders.
