When bird feeding, be sure to take hygiene and safety precautions, as the unnatural situation of having large numbers of birds congregating in one area can lead to transmission of infectious diseases. Clean all feeding stations regularly and wash away all droppings. Wear rubber gloves when undertaking these tasks to avoid contact with bacteria and viruses that may be present in bird droppings. Other safety precautions involve not feeding whole peanuts or un-soaked dried fruit during the breeding season as this can be dangerous to nestlings, and never using net bags to feed birds, as birds may die as a result of their feet or tongues getting trapped.

Some unique feeders include oriole feeder which are traditionally colored orange, also supply such artificial nectar and are designed to serve New World orioles, which have a differently shaped beak and tongue. These orioles and some other birds will also come to fruit foods, such as grape jelly or half an orange on a peg.
