Caring for Your Copper Top Feeder
With time, the copper finish will weather to a soft brown or even turn green with age. If you don’t want the green tint, give the feeder a quick cover and sealer before putting it out.
Some feeders are already treated, or they have taken advantage of copper’s natural tendency to turn green with age and have sealed the copper to preserve a precise amount of greening.
Anything that is outdoors will eventually need cleaning, and your coppertop feeders are no exception. Fortunately, you don’t have to spend a lot to take care of them.
If you want to preserve the greenish patina, follow these instructions.
- Use a little (very little) Ivory soap and warm water to wipe away the dirt.
- Rinse with clear water and let dry.
- Use a hard, carnauba wax to protect the finish such as Trewax, Johnson’s Clear Paste Wax, or Renaissance Wax. Avoid car wax – it contains other stuff that could harm your copper)
- Apply the wax according to package directions using a soft cloth and allow it to dry.
If you have matching nest boxes that have a copper roof, be sure to have a thick layer of wood under the copper to tone down its ability to warm up, and hang them in the shade. The feeders can have some sun.
Summary
Coppertop bird feeders are not only practical but are also beautiful. With proper care, they are an investment that will grace your garden or yard for many years, bringing joy to both viewers and to the many birds that you feed.
