Seed Cylinders are the answer!

Are birds cleaning out your feeders faster than usual this time of year? You are not imagining it. Seed cylinders are a great alternative to loose seed. They last longer, cut down on waste and keep birds fit and feeding steadily instead of scattering seed everywhere.

Feeders Gross After the Rain? Here's How to Clean Them Fast 🧼

Heavy rain means your bird feeders need attention, and fast. Once seed gets wet and moldy, birds will stop visiting altogether. In this video, I'm sharing two easy cleaning methods: a DIY vinegar soak followed by a hot water and Dawn dish soap scrub, or a soak using a commercial cleaner like Mr. Bird or Carefree Enzymes. For tube feeders specifically, a long brush like the one from Songbird Essentials makes all the difference. Everything shown is available at ForTheWildBirds.com under Crinda's Picks. Happy Birding! #ForTheWildBirds #FeedTheBirds #BackyardBirding #BirdFeedingFun #BirdLovers #Birdwatching
