Good but….

This is a nice little feeder for the smaller birds. Unfortunately we have a pesky squirrel who likes to help himself. The seed was always tipping out onto the floor & once I came home to see it had fallen onto the ground (with a little help from the squirrel!) Also,the hook isn’t ideal as it was impossible to attach the feeder to the bird station without seed tipping out

Sorry to hear you've been bothered by the squirrel! We offer a couple of squirrel proof options on the site - unfortunately the Little Lantern doesn't put up much of a fight against pesky squirrels!

Peace for my visitors

Sparrows no longer scared off by the starlings!

That's brilliant news! Thank you for the positive review!

Food all gone!

The lantern feeder is small but easy to fill. Sparrows, robins and various tits have fed from it and the bigger birds sit in wait for anything that comes. It’s not starling proof though, unless we have particularly tenacious ones here in Cumbria! Easy to clean. Thank you.

Thank you so much, Anna. I'm so pleased you're enjoying the lantern feeder, and it sounds as though it's attracting a lovely variety of visitors. Your starlings clearly haven't read the rule book! They can be wonderfully determined. Thank you again for your kind review, and I hope you continue to enjoy watching the garden.

Too good!

Great service and information from Claire. Bought the seasonal bird food for the lantern feeder. I much prefer the design size and colour of the little lantern but so do the crows who have worked out how to empty it very quickly . Having to use a larger lantern feeder to make sure the little birds get some too. The food is a big hit with all the birds too. I will just need to try to out smart the crow with where I hang the little lantern.

Thank you so much, Fiona. I'm really pleased you've been enjoying both the food and the information that comes with it. As for the crows… they're incredibly clever and always seem to keep us on our toes! Hopefully a bit of experimenting with where the feeder hangs will help tip the balance back in favour of the smaller birds. Thank you again for your lovely review.

Great little feeder and bird food

I got the starter kit with the little feeder and seed mix. The shape of the feeder really keeps the bird seed dry. We have had some heavy rain and windy days of late but the remaining seed is dry when I top it up each day. I’m very happy with it.

I am so pleased that you're happy with the feeder! It is very important that the bird food is kept dry and hygienic- and I'm glad that your feeder is serving this purpose. I hope you have a lovely time feeding the birds!

Great products and excellent service!

I would highly recommend A Little Bird Company. I had previously bought the Starling Proof Guardian Feeder Set, which was excellent quality, to add to my existing feeders, however my garden was struggling to attract birds. I emailed Clare for some advice and sent a video of my garden. She was extremely kind and took the time to reply, offering me some very helpful tips and ideas to help improve my garden in order to attract a variety of birds. I have now subscribed for the seasonal bird food which is great, ensuring the birds are getting the right food for the right time of year; and the packaging is eco-friendly too!
I have since bought the Little Lantern seed feeder which is good quality and great in that it comes apart and can easily be cleaned. The feeder I was previously using only had 2 perches, so the goldfinches were getting frustrated waiting, whereas the Little Lantern feeder has ‘free access’. The goldfinches took to the feeder straight away. Some greenfinches have visited, but so far haven’t quite figured out how to land on it!

Thank you for your lovely review! I am so glad to have helped you so that you can have lots of birds visiting your garden every day. Thank you for signing up for a subscription and for taking the time to write this kind, detailed review! If you need any more advice, I'm happy to help. I hope you have a fantastic time feeding the birds!
Best wishes, Clare

Little birds feeder

I wanted a small feeder for the little birds which I could place nearer to our garden windows and out of the parakeets range! So lovely seeing tits, robins and goldfinches up close and so far the squirrel hasn’t shown any interest.
Sturdy and well made design. I know this because I dropped it hard onto tiles and it stayed intact!

So happy to hear that our Little Lantern Seed Feeder is working well for your garden. We love that you're able to enjoy watching the little birds up close and that the feeder is keeping the parakeets away. Thanks for the great review. Happy bird watching!

Perfect little bird feeder.

It took a couple of days for the birds to find the feeder, but now they love it. It keeps the larger birds from eating everything. It’s cute and bigger than it looks.

I'm glad you like it! I hope the birds enjoy eating the food.
Thank you for your lovely review and I hope you have a good week.
Happy birdwatching!

Bird Feeder and Food

I love this little bird feeder - after only 2 days of being out I’ve had such a variety of birds visiting - much more than when I just put food on a ‘table’. They’re clearly enjoying it. Highly recommended.

Thank you very much for your support! I'm glad you have so many birds in your garden
and hope you have a lovely time birdwatching this week.

Why we love this product

I wanted something lightweight and easy to use, and that would also look pretty in the garden. We had used plastic tube feeders a lot in the past, and I disliked how flimsy they were - all it took was hot sun or a frosty night to crack them, and from a sustainability perspective that felt counterintuitive. Although I wasn’t sure I wanted a plastic feeder in my range, this is such a practical and robust option that I’m proud to stock it, and I like the smaller feeding perches, too.

We choose our products carefully and stock no more than 25 items in our store, so every item earns its place. This ensures our range is thoughtfully curated, high quality, and genuinely useful for wildlife lovers.

Who’s eating the bird food in your garden?

We want to support all wildlife in our gardens—big, small, furry or feathered—even if it sometimes means sharing with a few bolder visitors. That said, when larger animals help themselves to your bird food, it can leave the little birds struggling for a bite to eat, which can feel frustrating. Read on for our bird feeding solutions.
