The best Tūī Feeder

Most netcar feeders sold in NZ are made for tiny hummingbirds, but the iconic Tūī a large bird, up to 30cm tall, so it needs a feeder much bigger.

Tūī need a feeder that is big enough for them to stand on or grab hold of, and as they can weigh up to 90g, it needs to be sturdy. And feeders need to be able to offer nectar and fruit. Plus, they should be easy to put up, clean and top up. These are all factors that Kohab considered when designing the Kohab Bird Feeder.

The best bird feeder for Tūī.

The Kohab Bird Feeder ticks all the boxes to provide the best feeder for Tūī as it was designed especially with them in mind:

• It is big enough and sturdy enough for the large, heavy Tūī

• By adding a bowl of your choice, you can easily serve nectar or fruit, which are a Tūī favourite

• It is easy to hang on a fence, wall or tree, making it easy to position in a safe place for feeding

• It's easy to clean to prevent disease and keep neat and tidy

• And you can easily use it as a seed-feeding platform to support other birds in your garden too.

“I am beyond thrilled with my experience with Kohab's team. The bird feeder arrived in just a few days and was incredibly simple to assemble. But what I was so happy with was within a short time, I had Tui's not only visiting but joyfully singing and drinking in my backyard.” Tom D
