Say Goodbye to Messy Feeders and Unwanted Pests
Share
There’s nothing quite like the peaceful charm of watching birds flit in and out of your garden. But for many homeowners, bird feeders bring unexpected frustrations—like seed spills, scattered shells, and worse yet, uninvited pests like rodents and raccoons.
These common problems often come down to one key issue: poor design. At Kelowna Woodcraft, we’re changing that—one handcrafted cedar feeder at a time.
The Problem With Standard Feeders
Mass-produced feeders often use lightweight plastic or metal and are put together with minimal care for long-term use. The result? They shake in the wind, tip with the slightest nudge, and allow excess seed to spill on the ground—creating a mess and attracting pests.
Even worse, some feeders are hard to clean, allowing mildew or spoiled seed to build up. This not only drives away birds but can cause harm to their health.

Handcrafted Solutions: Form Meets Function
At Kelowna Woodcraft, our handmade cedar bird feeders are engineered for both elegance and utility. Our designs include:
- Sturdy, balanced construction to prevent tipping and shaking
- Thoughtfully positioned seed ports to minimize waste
- Natural cedar surfaces that resist mildew and deter insects
- Removable components for quick, easy cleaning
And because each piece is made by hand using sustainably harvested western red cedar from British Columbia, you get a feeder that’s not only practical—but beautiful enough to be a centerpiece in your garden.
Why Cedar? Nature’s Built-In Protection
Cedar isn’t just a stylistic choice—it’s a performance one. Its natural oils make it inherently resistant to moisture, pests, and decay, meaning your feeder will maintain its look and structure for seasons to come.
Choosing cedar also means you're avoiding chemical-treated woods and synthetics that break down quickly or release toxins—making our feeders safer for the birds you’re trying to support.
