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.
