Easy Clean Bird Feeders

Here at Really Wild Bird Food, we do everything we can to encourage responsible feeding. Practising good feeder hygiene helps to prevent the spread of nasty diseases between garden birds. One of the most common diseases found on bird feeders is salmonellosis, which occurs when a food source is contaminated with faecal matter.

Regularly cleaning your bird feeders is one the simplest yet most effective ways to help significantly reduce the risk of birds getting ill at your feeders. Easy clean bird feeders like those sold by Really Wild Bird Food make keeping your bird feeding stations clean a breeze, as does our collection of bird feeder cleaning products.

Tips on how to clean bird feeders

Clean your bird feeders at least once a week to remove bird droppings and old food – a scraper tool is recommended to this job. Additionally, you should disinfect your table every two weeks.

When cleaning your bird feeder, don’t ever wash them with your own dishes or use the same cleaning utensils. Always ensure that the feeder is properly dried before you refill it with feed again, and never out old bird feed back on the feeder - replace it with fresh bird feed every time.
