Cedar Bird Feeders & Birdhouses

Cedar is the gold standard material for outdoor bird feeders and birdhouses — and for good reason. Our cedar bird feeders and birdhouses are handcrafted from premium Western Red Cedar, the most naturally weather-resistant wood available, requiring no chemical treatment to last for years outdoors.

Why Cedar Is the Best Wood for Bird Feeders

  • Naturally rot-resistant: Cedar contains natural oils that repel moisture, insects, and fungal decay
  • No toxic chemicals needed: Unlike pressure-treated wood, cedar is completely bird-safe without any treatment
  • Ages beautifully: Weathers to an attractive silver-grey patina over time
  • Lightweight yet strong: Easy to hang, durable enough to last 5–10+ years
  • Insulating: Cedar's natural insulation properties help regulate temperature inside birdhouses

Caring for Your Cedar Feeder or Birdhouse

  • Clean feeders every 2 weeks with a 10% bleach solution, rinse thoroughly, and dry before refilling
  • Apply a coat of linseed oil annually to maintain the wood's natural oils
  • Store indoors during extended periods of non-use to maximize lifespan
