The Sunnydaze Glass Mosaic Hanging Bird Feeder is a pretty, iridescent orb that can bring vibrant colors and a bit of sparkle to your garden. It's on the small side, a good fit for birds like chickadees, wrens, bluebirds, and nuthatches, and a great choice if you want to deter larger birds like pigeons, since they'll have trouble fitting in the hole. The entire feeder measures 6 inches wide, 5.25 inches deep, and 6.25 inches tall, and the central hole is 3.25 inches across. It has a drainage hole in the bottom to prevent moisture buildup under the feed. The glass mosaic design reflects light beautifully during the day and gives the feeder a stylish, crafty look. It's also available in several colors.

The LUJII Ice Cream Shaped Spiral Hummingbird Feeder looks like a colorful swirl of soft serve ice cream. This sculptural and eye-catching hummingbird feeder is made of handblown glass, which gives it character and a feeling of craftsmanship. It measures just under 10 inches tall and 5.5 inches across, with a 28-ounce capacity. The colorful glass glints beautifully in the sunlight, making it ideal for outdoor spaces. To keep sugar water contained, it has a leak-resistant base, a sturdy rustproof metal base cover, and a hook with an ant moat to thwart bugs. The wide mouth on the reservoir and the two-part base make it easy to take apart and clean, a necessity if you plan on feeding delicate hummingbirds.

Shoppers rate this product 4.6 stars overall, from over 2700 reviews. Around 83% of those reviewers awarded it 5 stars. One calls it, "My favorite little outdoor decoration that brings all the hummingbirds to our window. The glass is beautiful, and the materials are high-quality to prevent leaks."

Just note that due to the design, squirrels really like this feeder too, so it's only a good choice if you don't mind these bushy-tailed visitors.

Yinns Glass Fly-Through Bird Feeder looks more like a work of art than it does a feeder. It has a sculptural hoop design with a swirling pattern and bright, complementary colors. It's available in several design options, some of them featuring mosaic pieces and others made from solid glass. During the day, the glass glints nicely in the sunlight and, at night, solar lights automatically switch on and illuminate the structure.

The Tree Poetry Tree Face Decor isn't for everyone, but for those who love character and whimsy, it's an ideal product. It really looks like something out of a fairy tale and can bring a tree trunk to life. Decoration is the primary focus: although there is a small cupped space in the beard for bird seed, it doesn't hold very much and doesn't have a drainage hole. This means it requires a more frequent refilling and cleaning. However, for those who adore this type of distinctive decor, it's worth the extra upkeep. The face pieces are made of polyresin, and the details are hand-painted using non-toxic paint, so it looks charming and won't harm wildlife. If this is your style, a DIYing whimsical garden fairy door might be another project that's right up your alley.

Based on over 2000 reviews, this product has a 4.5-star rating, and over 75% of ratings award it 5 stars. A reviewer calls it: "Very nice tree art ... well made with vivid colors and [has] a small space for bird feed or water." The pieces have keyhole slots on the back, and screws are included for setup, though there are mixed reviews on whether the screws are large enough, so a few reviewers had to use their own.

The feeder does come with a 64-gigabyte memory card to store 10-second video clips. To encourage more species, a couple of fruit forks, a hummingbird feeder, a suet holder, and a jelly box are also included.

The Genuine Fred Tire Swing TIME Bird Feeder brings a fun element of nostalgia to the backyard.

Creating a bird haven can be difficult for apartment dwellers and anyone living in small homes that lack outdoor space. The Urban Deco Deck Mount Platform Bird Feeder offers a solution for anyone with a balcony. This feeder can be mounted on a balcony railing, the side of outdoor tables, or really any suitable horizontal surface with the rust-proof metal clamp.

It's important to note that this model does attract squirrels, and many use it as a squirrel feeder. Critical reviews mention it's smaller than they expected and quite lightweight, so some felt the need to stick it in place where it wouldn't get knocked over by critters.

Shaped like a quaint family home, the MrCrafts Solar Hanging Bird House Feeder is a delightful spot to watch birds gather and eat. It will look like bird visitors are having a little garden party. The house-shaped feeder is made of metal with a waterproof coating. Inside, it has two compartments, so you can put in two different seed types. Outside, an extended perch accommodates larger birds.

What's more unique than customizing your own bird feeder? The Beetle & Bee Build A Bird Buffet puts this project at your fingertips. It's geared toward kids, so the end product is nothing elaborate.

The wood is nice and sturdy, the directions were fairly easy to follow, and the finished product is cute (especially with the included paint that they got to decorate it with.) Overall, it is a recommend for a simple intro project." A few reviews do note it's small. The finished project measures about 5 inches by 7 inches by 6 inches, so it's only suitable for little birds.

If you have a minimalist, modern outdoor space, you probably want a bird feeder to match. The Esschert Design FB406 Anthracite Wall Bird Table is exactly suited to this type of decorating style.

The Kingsyard Bird House Feeder is another delightful house-shaped product.

While this feeder is on the compact side, measuring 4.7 by 4.7 inches across and 7.6 inches tall, it has a perch on all four sides, which allows small and medium birds to land.
