Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Vlerkie feeders different from other bird feeders?

Every Vlerkie feeder and box is designed with photography in mind — clean perches, the right distance and angle for a sharp shot, and backgrounds that blur nicely. They're tested on our own backyard before they ever go on sale.

How do I know which feeder or box suits my garden?

Check the Attracting Guide for species common in your region — each guide links to the feeder or box best suited to that bird.

Where are Vlerkie products made?

Designed and built in South Africa, and tested with real birds on our own one-hectare property before release.

Do you ship nationwide?

Yes — see shipping options and rates at checkout on the Shop page.

What is the photography hide, and when can I book it?

We're building purpose-designed photography hides on our reserve. Booking (predefined time slots, small group sizes) isn't open yet — join the waitlist on the Hides page and we'll notify you the moment it launches.

Can I submit my own bird photos taken with Vlerkie products?

We'd love that. Send your best shots via the Contact page and we may feature them in our Gallery or on the YouTube channel.

Do you offer custom feeder or nest box designs?

We're focused on our core photography-ready range for now, but tell us what you have in mind via Contact — we're always gathering ideas for future designs.

Still Have a Question?

We're happy to help with feeder choice, species questions or hide bookings.
