Large Bird Feeders #3: More Birds 4 Cake Suet Buffet Bird Feeder with Metal Roof
What I like:
- Holds four suet cakes all at once. That will last you a while and make a lot of Woodpeckers and Nuthatches happy.
- It’s a big enough feeder that it would support larger Woodpeckers like Pileated and Red-Bellied Woodpeckers.
- Suet feeders are easy and cheap to use. Just fill the cages with a suet cake and you’ll be good to go for a while.

Large Feeder #4: BQYPOWER 42-Ounce Nectar Hummingbird Feeder
What I like:
- Being able to hold 42 ounces of nectar at once is a lot. That’s the most I’ve seen on the hummingbird feeder so far. As with all other hummingbird feeders, you’re going to want to make sure you clean and empty any excess nectar after a few days. This would be a good investment if you have regular hummingbird guests, though!
- This feeder looks awesome. It would fit in well with a summer yard display and would be a great gift.
- There are several feeding ports to support multiple hummingbirds swooping in for nectar.
- Has a rubber ring design to prevent leaks.
