Used to attract the greatest variety of birds, with only one feeder, a platform bird feeder is a simple square on which seed is strewn to feed the birds. Depending on design, platform feeders can be hung on a branch, pole-mounted or even sat directly on the ground. Find the right platform feeder for your lawn below!

Any true bird sanctuary probably includes some form of ground feeder. Sometimes as simple as a platform feeder positioned on the ground, sometimes as elaborate as a small dog house, ground feeders help bring many different birds into your yard, especially large ones like doves or Juncos, that can’t grip a hanging feeder.
