» Ground Feeder for soft foods
This has been specially developed for ground feeding species such as Robins, Yellowhammers, Dunnocks,
Blackbirds, etc., which prefer not to use hanging feeders. They are referred to as soft food eaters. The main features
of the soft food silo are its excellent stability and ease of use. It is a simple matter to clean and re-fill it, by removing
the cover.
Siting: Sheltered places such as in hedges and under trees and bushes.
Suitable soft food: For the species referred to above it is advisable to use special soft food such as dried berries,
raisins and currants, oats, fruit cut into small pieces and dried meat. Sunflower seeds are less suitable. Alternatively
you can use the special fat-rich soft food that has been specially developed for the ground feeder, shown on page 75
(Order No. 00 258/7).
Material: SCHWEGLER wood-concrete.
Dimensions: width 32 x depth 32 x height 31 cm.
Volume: 9 litres (supplied without food)
Colour: olive-green
Weight: approx. 12 kg.
Order No. 00 237/2
» Birdfeeder Model 8
Round food silo made of soft thermoplastic, with very large capacity. Ideal for professional use. Placing the feeders
in a circle and at the same level causes the least disturbance between the animals, which are much less likely to try
and drive each other away from the feeding site. They are re-filled by simply removing the loop of galvanized wire
and taking off the top. This makes cleaning a very quick process. A tried and tested feeder that has been part of our
range for several decades. The base is weighted to ensure that it hangs securely without any excessive movement
even when empty or half empty. We recommend that it should only be filled with a sunflower seed mixture. Fat-rich
food or peanuts are not suitable and special feeders are available for this purpose.
Examples of suitable food can be found on page 75, e.g. Order nos. 00 575/5, 00 581/6 or 00 580/0.
Items supplied: feeder silo without food, incl. metal mounting loop. 7 feeding ports.
Material: white plastic container with black roof.
Dimensions: l 36 cm x H 32 cm plus hanger.
Volume: 13 litres (supplied without food).
Weight: approx. 3.5 kg (without food).

Our large SCHWEGLER feeders ("Silos") can be used over longer periods without requiring re-filling. This can be an advantage, for example, during
long absences or if the feeder is proving particularly popular, because regular feeding places should always offer a consistent supply of food,
especially during periods of frost and snow.
In addition this minimizes disputes between the animals, because they are able to feed at various places instead of all having to obtain their food
within a relatively small space.
The silo structure prevents Bird droppings collecting in the food, which can cause the spread of such dangerous pathogens as salmonella
(Parathyphus) and lead to the death of our feathered friends.
