You might just try searching some existing threads. Here are a couple to get you started:

lightweight feeders obviously easier to tip than larger metal... unless hung. Good luck.

If expense is your main concern, I would build or buy a feeder that restricts how much food they can knock out of the feeder because that will be the most expensive cost of feeding since they will only eat the spilt food if there is no other food.
