Nectar Feeder

This nectar feeder from Topflite is ideal for attracting & safely feeding wild birds! Enjoy the company of beautiful tūī, bellbird and waxeyes.

While many New Zealand native birds feed on fruit and insects, tūī and bellbird prefer nectar. Designed for holding Topflite Wild Bird Nectar, the red colour of this feeder mimics the natural shades of rata and pohutukawa – the favourite flowers of these birds. The feeder is strong enough to handle a hefty tūī (or two, or three!). This design keeps feathers and droppings well clear of food with its wide, thin perching ring. A removable insect cap keeps bees from taking a dive and small feeding holes for fine, tapered beaks make sure it’s just tūī, bellbirds and waxeyes who are invited to feed.

Usage: Unscrew the glass bottle and fill with water, sugar water or Topflite Wild Bird Nectar mix. Screw into base firmly but gently. Avoid over-tightening the bottle in the feeder base thread. The best ratio for feeding is one part sugar or Topflite Wild Bird Nectar to four parts water. Throw out any liquid not consumed after 3 days to avoid it fermenting. 

Important: Dirty bird feeders are a danger to bird populations as they can spread pathogens. Thoroughly clean the feeder with Topflite Nectar Feeder Cleaning Brush, gentle soap and warm water before every refill (or run it through the dishwasher).

Feeding Guide: Place feeder high and out of predators' reach but close to native trees and shrubs (where possible). Place near other wild bird food sources. Larger native birds are more likely to visit a feeder already in use by their smaller feathered friends. Where possible, plant native shrubs as long-term sources of natural nectar and berries.
