Advantages: Birds brighten up your garden, and their songs are cheerful and happy.
Disadvantages: Seed residue can get messy

...also put in plants that attract your native birds. Birds not only use their favorite plants for food, they also use them for nesting material. If you plant the right ones, you will attract birds during every season of the year. Find the Foods Your Birds Enjoy A trip to most large pet stores in your area should reveal plenty of packaged food your local birds will enjoy. In many our areas, the most popular food is black-oil sunflower seeds. You can attract lots of different birds just by putting out this seed in feeders. (Note: This isn't the same type of seed as the roasted sunflower seeds sold in grocery stores as snacks!) We use tube feeders with many perches to accomodate a lot of birds. Our local house finches and goldfinches love the sunflower seeds. They also love Niger thistle seed. Here is a list of some common birds... Read review

Advantages: All of their greats on just one disc
Disadvantages: They did not include the track 'Descend'

...For Diehard Feeder fans, such as myself, this is the release that has long been desired. Although most Feeder followers will probably already own all of their previous albums it is definetly not a waste of money just simply because now the best range from across the albums is all on one disc. So no more disc juggling whilst your driving, on more room in your car. Even if your not a complete Feeder 'nut', but you enjoy the ocasional bedroom mosh to 'Just A Day', Come Back Around' or the huge hit 'Buck Rogers'. Or even if you just like to relax to 'Just the Way I'm Feeling' or 'Tumble and Fall' then I strongly recommend that you buy this album. Purely because deep down everyone has a place for Feeder in the vast library of catchy songs stuck in their mind and this album includes the best of them. If your not convinced yet then you...

Advantages: Shouty anthems
Disadvantages: Shitty slowies

...It could have been so much better. It could have been such a great album, but it wasn't. Feeder took to long on their 'sensitive and epic' slowies such as Radioman, Tinsel Town and Paperfaces. These poor, inadequate (dare I say?) songs cover up the fact that there are some really good rock/pop melodies on this album(Day in Day Out, Insomnia and Waiting for changes). Feeder should really stick to short loud rock like on their previous album and singles, why change a winning formula especially to this mediocre standard.The bad by far weighs out the very good, which is a pity because a little more attention to album tracks would have seen away their problems....

Advantages: Strong construction, easy to clean and a good view of the birds.
Disadvantages: You might get some mess on your window sill!

...Droll Yankees do make more than one type of window feeder. The one I am reviewing is called the 'Observer' window feeder and is rather cheaper than the other one I know they do (called W-1). I paid £8.95 + p+p for mine from www.jacobijayne.co.uk. The Observer is about 18cm wide and 16cm tall and it sticks out from your window about 7.5cm. The food container is about 4.5 cm deep. It has a roof which effectively protects the food from rain. The whole feeder (excluding suckers) is made of UV-stabilised polycarbonate, which means it shouldn't crack or go yellow like some feeders do. The other thing that I think is good - and I believe this applies to all Droll Yankee feeders - is that it has a lifetime guarantee. They will replace any defective parts free and will even replace or repair parts damaged by squirrels (you do have to pay... Read review

Advantages: video of high and 'Descend'
Disadvantages: some weak links

...This Feeder’s debut album and was released in 1997 on the echo label. This album has all you need from an Indie/Rock band with great catchy songs and also darker songs (which are my favourites). Obviously people would choose ‘High’ or ‘My perfect day’ as their favourite tracks as they were both singles. However my favourite track is ‘Descend’ this is classic dark rock song which echo’s of nirvana without trying too it’s just a class song. ‘Stereo world’ is also a good song but on the whole this album flatters to deceive but is still worth a listen it’s also got the ‘High’ video on it which is a bonus....

Advantages: See birds close up
Disadvantages: Price

...This is the time of year when food is getting rather scarce for our feathered friends. So what better time is there to give them a little helping hand by putting out some peanuts or seed for them too eat. The easiest thing is to buy a bespoke peanut or seed feeder so the birds can hang on and peck at the food off the ground, rather than feeling vulnerable and trying to peck at them on the ground. By far the best feeders I have come across are sold by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and are called Defender feeders. These feeders are made in two designs. Either a metal mesh tube around 6cm or so in diameter with a metal corrosion-resistant cap and base. The cap easily pushes on and off to keep out the rain. These ones are designed to take peanuts and the birds can hold on to the mesh and peck at the nuts through... Read review

Advantages: 10 more Feeder songs to listen to
Disadvantages: Not many

...So the latest installment from the genius that is Feeder. This album may not seem all that different to Comfort in Sound, but that is due to the tragic loss of Jon Henry Lee in 2002. Grant Nicholas has stated himself that all their music nowadays is about the meaning of what it is like to be alive. Anyway, the new album has 10 songs, they are: 1.Feeling a moment (Has been released as a single) 2.Bitter Glass 3.Tumble & Fall (Has been released as a single) 4.Tender 5.Pushing the Senses 6.Frequency 7.Morning Life 8.Pilgrim Soul 9.Pain on Pain 10.Dove Grey Sands Feeling a moment is a song that many of you will have heard already and in my opinion, is the best song on the album...but not by much. In fact at least 7 of these songs could be released and do well as singles. Quite a few of the songs are what some people may descibe... Read review

Advantages: The album that put Feeder on the map
Disadvantages: The last album with Jon Lee

...This was Feeder's big break, after releasing one mini-album (Swim), and two full albums (Polythene & Yesterday went too soon) they hit the big time with the success of 'Buck Rodgers' and 'Just a Day' (Just a Day was only released as a single but is associated with this album). The album was released in 2001 and consists of these tracks: 1. Standing on the edge 2. Buck Rodgers 3. Piece by Piece 4. Seven days in the sun 5. We can't rewind 6. Turn 7. Choke 8. Oxygen 9. Tell all your friends 10. Under the weather 11. Satellite news 12. Bug The album is a perfect mix of hard rocking anthems like Buck Rodgers and Standing on the edge and Harmonic melodies like Piece by Piece and Turn. For anybody who has heard of Feeder and would like to buy one of their albums, this is the one that I would recommend as a first buy. It was the one that got... Read review

Advantages: Well priced, robust, casts well
Disadvantages: None

...One for the angler. Every angler needs a good quality, reliable and durable bait feeder and here is one that comes up to spec in all three areas. I am talking about the Dinsmores Zeppelin Feeder. These are open ended feeders with the metal body and side weight cast as a single unit and combined with a stiff plastic link for easy attachment to your line. Being made from cast metal you get no sharp edges like you do on some feeders and again being made of metal and cast as a single unit they are very strong and can withstand being dragged along the bottom of a lake or river. The openings in the side of the body are oval in shape and spread the bait evenly without clogging. The medium Zeppelin weighs 30 grams and the larger one double that at 60 grams. You'll need a good rod with a sufficient test curve to launch these babies especially... Read review

Advantages: Compact, paper feeds straight.
Disadvantages: None that I can think of.

...I bought this as I had been getting frustrated with having to put in separate sheets of paper each time I wanted to print something off, not a problems if you only want to print off one page but when you're doing about 10 at a time it gets a bit tiring. Also quite often my paper had been going through my BJC-50 and come out with the printing not straight. Very inconvenient when printing off a sheet of labels. I had been wary of buying an auto sheet feeder as I thought it would be much too large and therefore void the reason behind buying a portable printer. However the ASF-50 is a compact sheet feeder as well. The printer sits inside it and then the sheet feeder folds over the top making it still very portable. Also now all my printing comes out straight which looks much more professional. All in all a great idea for making life... Read review
