Henry Bell Super Sterling Seed Feeder for Wild Birds 60cm

Henry Bell Super Sterling Seed Feeder – 60cm

At 60cm this is twice the height of a standard Sterling feeder and the biggest seed feeder Henry Bell make. Henry Bell list it as the Grand Sterling Seed Feeder: eight feeding ports, each with one of their ring perches, and room for more than 1kg of Superior Seed Mix in a single fill. That is enough for eight birds to feed side by side without squabbling over a port.

The silver finish makes it a centrepiece rather than something tucked behind a shrub, and the size has a practical side too. A garden that empties a 32cm feeder every day or two will get closer to a week out of this one, and the lid opens and the base comes away so the long tube can still be cleaned properly.

Performance & Benefits

• Holds over 1kg of Henry Bell Superior Seed Mix, roughly double a 32cm feeder.
• Eight feeding ports, each with a Henry Bell ring perch, so several birds feed at once.
• Separate ports let birds feed independently rather than crowding one opening.
• Simple-to-open lid for filling and a removable base for washing out the full length.
• Silver finish that stands out on a feeding station or hung on its own from a sturdy branch.
• Fewer refills in winter, when a busy garden can empty a small feeder in a day.

Suitable For

• Seed mixes and sunflower seed — Henry Bell's capacity figure is based on their Superior Seed Mix.
• Finches, tits, house sparrows, chaffinches and robins that will take seed from a perch.
• Busy gardens and large feeding stations where a 32cm feeder runs out too quickly.
• A strong hanging point: a full 1kg-plus feeder is heavier than most station arms are used to.
• Not for whole peanuts, which must be fed from mesh — the Sterling Peanut Feeder is the one for those.

How to Use

• Lift the lid and pour seed in with a jug or scoop; fill to suit how fast your birds empty it.
• Hang from a strong feeding station arm, hook or branch that can carry the weight of a full feeder.
• Site it a couple of metres from cover so birds have a bolt-hole but cats have no hiding place close by.
• In wet weather fill it only part way, so seed at the bottom does not sit damp for days.
• Remove the base and wash the feeder with warm water and a bird-safe hygiene spray every week or two, then dry it fully before refilling.
