Henry Bell Heritage Everyday Fat Ball Feeder

Henry Bell Heritage Everyday Fat Ball Feeder

The Heritage Everyday feeders are the value tier of Henry Bell's Heritage collection: aluminium bodies in the same antique gold and bronze finish as the full-size Heritage range, in a smaller, plainer form. If you like the way the Heritage feeders look on a station but do not want to pay full-range money for every position, this is the line that fills the gaps.

This one takes fat balls. Aluminium keeps it light and stops it rusting where a plated steel feeder would streak, and Henry Bell build the range around being easy to fill, clean and maintain — which in practice is the difference between a feeder that gets scrubbed weekly and one that does not.

Performance & Benefits

• Aluminium body, so it stays light and does not rust in a wet winter.
• Antique gold and bronze finish, matching the rest of the Henry Bell Heritage collection.
• Built to be easy to fill, clean and maintain.
• Hangs from a feeding station, a bird table or a simple hook on a branch.
• Heritage looks at the Everyday price, so a station can be kitted out in one finish.

Suitable For

• Fat balls and suet balls.
• Blue tits, great tits, coal tits, long-tailed tits, starlings, robins and house sparrows.
• Feeding stations already carrying Heritage feeders, where a matching finish is wanted.
• Year-round feeding, indoors of a hedge or out on an open station.
• Not the feeder for loose seed, hearts or peanuts — the Heritage Everyday Seed, Sunflower and Peanut feeders cover those.

How to Use

• Open the lid, load the fat balls and close it before hanging.
• Hang from a feeding station arm, a bird table or a hook on a tree branch.
• Site it within a few metres of cover so birds have somewhere to retreat to.
• Empty out crumbs and wash weekly in warm water with a bird-safe hygiene product.
• Dry it fully before refilling; damp fat balls go mouldy quickly.

Specification

• Aluminium, finished in Henry Bell's antique gold and bronze. Henry Bell product code H040092.
• Part of the Heritage Everyday range, described by Henry Bell as durable and hardwearing.
• Sized for Henry Bell fat balls, which they give as 80g each.
