Concord, NH -- Duncraft, manufacturer of bird feeders since 1952, is emphasizing the importance of keeping bird feeders clean. It is highlighting twenty-five Duncraft brand bird feeders as EasyClean - 16 tube feeders with easily removable bases, a hopper feeder that disassembles in an instant and other designs that can be put in the dish- washer or be cleaned with the spray of a garden hose.

Easy Clean Base removes with a twist

Duncraft's EasyClean feeders are identified by New EasyClean hangtags. "Birdfeeding customers have been asking for easy-to-clean feeders for years," says Sharon Dunn, Duncraft president. "They're very excited by our Easy Clean Base, an innovation that meets their needs."

"Feeder hygiene and customer convenience are a big issues that we are addressing head-on," says Dunn. "As we design new feeders, this is a top priority." She adds, "The trade group WBFI (Wild Bird Feeding Industry) with contributions from Cornell Lab of Ornithology and National Audubon and others, recently published new guidelines that include cleaning feeders and feeding areas at least once a month to promote bird health. We support this educational effort by designing feeders that make cleaning that much easier and faster." In addition to its mixed seed single tube feeders with the Easy Clean base, Duncraft also introduced a squirrel proof all metal hopper feeder The Advantage that dissembles easily for cleaning.
