Dome Bird Feeders

As the name suggests, dome feeders have a feeding station covered by a dome (usually plastic). The dome prevents snow and rain from falling on the feeding station. The dome can also be used to help smaller birds feel more protected.

This dome feeder is manufactured by Droll Yankees. The dome can be moved up and down.
When the dome is placed closer to the feeder, larger species such as grackles will be excluded from the feeder.

This Aspect's dome feeder is ideal for feeding fruit or mealworms, as these Eastern Bluebirds will attest.

What you need to know...

  • Dome feeders are usually hung, not pole mounted.
  • If you have bluebirds in your area, a small dome feeder is one our favorite feeder choices.
  • Larger dome feeders, such as the Droll Yankees unit above, provides some protection from squirrels.
Dome feeders are available at the Birdzilla Bird Feeder Shop.
