Rank #10 in Best Bird Feeder 2026: Squirrel-Proof, or Just Metal?
Oakdale Premium Filled Seed Bird Feeder, Metal with Two Perches
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Oakdale is the cheapest feeder in this ranking at £7.99, and the only one that arrives filled: a 21.5cm metal feeder, 340g, with two perches, a top-loading cap and a bag of seed in the box.
It takes tenth because it is the lightest feeder here, publishes no capacity in any unit, and 8 per cent of its 175 ratings are one-star. As a first feeder at under £8, with the first fill included, it still does the job.
How those 175 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.2 stars.
