A bird feeder, bird table, or tray feeder is an outdoor device that provides food for birds. Its success in attracting various species depends on its placement and the types of food offered, as different birds have different preferences.
Common foods include millet, sunflower seeds, safflower seeds, nyjer seeds, and canola seeds, which appeal to seed-eating birds. Bird feeders are popular for birdwatching, and many people use webcams to observe the activity. Some even live nearby to enjoy the birds.
