What kind of paint would be safe to use on my hummingbird feeder?

since it's a cheap plastic one - I wouldn't trust any paint from melting it! Just get a new one - it was glass or metal - I would ask my Lowes or Home Depot paint dept.

If you want birds to come to your bird feeders or bird houses, you should not use any paint. I know, I too see all these pretty little birdhouses to hang in the gardens for the birds, but paints are dangerous to the birds. You've seen birds pecking at fence post, houses, anything wood? Most paints have materials that are poison to the birds. Those looks pretty in the garden, I myself have some, but the birds do not use any of those houses...... Please use natural materials if you want the birds to use them. They do use the ones that have no paint on them. Just plain wood. I'm really more interested in having the birds come to the yard in some areas. That's where I put the natural wood with food.

If it is plastic, I would think about a new feeder. Paint doesn't adhere well to plastics, and the cost of paint would probably be almost as much as a new feeder.

You can also get a really pretty wood or metal one from a dollar store- and give it a beautiful paint job- have fun with it!

I checked at Home Depot about non-toxic paint to for my hummingbird feeders plastic flowers. This had been recommended to keep the bees away as they are attracted to the yellow in the flowers. Home Depot paints ALL contain Toxins. Do not use any of these for our precious little friends.

Can I paint the inside of a metal hummingbird feeder base with rustoleum, it seems that be rusting and I don't think the like it for that reason, I clean and change frequently

I two decided to repaint my hummingbird feeder‘s the flowers to restore them to the bright red are used Anita‘s outdoor acrylic paint because it said non-toxic but now I’m wondering did I do the right thing if anybody has any information on Anita‘s outdoor acrylic paint please respond with feedback before I fill the feeders and put them outside the paint did adhered to the plastic no problem

Hi Kathy, you can safely use lates paint on the bird house, just ensure it's completely dry before you rehang it.

Latex paint is safe.
