One of the best ways to attract birds to your garden is with a feeder. You'll get to enjoy the unique colors and calls of the flying visitors that stop by while the birds themselves benefit from a ready supply of food that might help fuel them for migratory journeys or offset seasonal food shortages. But once your feathered friends start visiting your feeder regularly, you might find that keeping it stocked with seed can be a challenge. If your feeder stays empty, birds that were visiting your yard may move on in search of a more reliable food source.

One strategy to reduce the frequency with which you need to refill a bird feeder is to buy one that's bigger. The Nature's Rhythm Metal Hopper Bird Feeder on Amazon is a large-capacity bird feeder that holds up to 10 pounds of bird seed. Other similar hopper-style bird feeders often have a more limited capacity between 6 and 7 pounds. The extra capacity of the Nature's Rhythm model is ideal if you want to extend the time between feeder refills, especially if you have many birds that frequently visit your space.

Capacity may be this feeder's biggest claim to fame, but it's not the only reason that it has a 4.4-star rating on Amazon. Reviewers comment on how well-made this metal feeder is. This sturdiness means it has stood up well to predators, with one Amazon reviewer reporting, "These are the best ever, large capacity, and basically bullet proof. The bears have beat them up, they have fallen off the wire but yet they keep on working perfectly. Can't go wrong with these." Of course, the all-metal construction and the large capacity also means that this feeder is heavy. The feeder itself weighs just over 5 pounds, so when filled to the brim with 10 pounds of bird seed, you'll need to hang it from a support that can hold at least 15 pounds of weight.

Thanks to this feeder's dual chamber design, you can cater your offerings to attract birds based on what they eat. The top screws off so that you can fill the feeder with your pick of one or two types of bird seed. The metal mesh screen has six ports with perches plus an additional four drainage ports. When it's finally empty — though that might take a while — the powder-coated metal feeder is easy to disassemble and clean using a 9:1 solution of water and bleach. Make sure the feeder is totally dry before you refill it and hang it back up to prevent your seed from getting moldy.
