Songbird Essentials Butterfly Feeder (Set of 1)

The Songbird Essentials Butterfly Feeder is the #1 choice of butterfly experts. Designed and tested by a Butterfly Breeder, this feeder boasts a patented combination of wicks and tubes that mimic real flower blossoms, along with small spikes to hold fresh fruit pieces. As recommended by butterfly experts, the feeder's nectar reservoir contains the right amount of nectar to minimize spoilage, ensuring the safety and health of visiting butterflies.

The feeder can be hung anywhere in your garden, with a 3/4" opening in the base allowing for optional pole mounting. The top is easy to open for cleaning and refilling the 6-ounce nectar capacity. The bright red and yellow colors of the feeder help attract butterflies, drawing them to your outdoor space.

While some butterflies primarily feed on nectar, others enjoy fruit as well. The feeder's small spikes can hold chunks of very ripe, juicy, and soft fruits like strawberries, bananas, or oranges, attracting a wider variety of butterfly species. Remember to replace the fruit daily for the best results.

Creating a butterfly-friendly habitat is essential for attracting these delicate and beautiful creatures. Avoid using chemical pesticides, fertilizers, or herbicides near your butterfly garden, as they can be detrimental to the butterflies and other species in the area. Instead, focus on planting a diverse array of native flowering and fruiting plants that provide a continuous food source throughout the seasons.

Consider building a butterfly puddler using a small, shallow container filled with sand or soil and a few small rocks for perching. Moisten the soil and sprinkle it with salt to provide butterflies with a place to gather key nutrients from the ground.

Butterflies also appreciate having a place to hide from predators and stay cozy. Butterfly houses are a great way to support your fluttering residents, offering small nooks and cracks for them to take shelter.

With its thoughtful design, the Songbird Essentials Butterfly Feeder is an excellent addition to any butterfly-friendly garden. Easy to assemble, fill, and clean, this feeder promises to attract a wide variety of butterfly species and enhance the beauty of your outdoor space.
