Birdfeeder: the old and the new

Wow, that’s nice, so attractive. The old one was very attractive too but the new one is even better and I like the hook stand used for it.

I made a bird feeder that was shaped like a gazebo and the seed holder was a clear soda bottle where I cut slots in the bottom for the seeds to come out. I used plastic pipe at the top and cut the top of the bottle off and the pipe went inside the bottle to allow to refill the contents.

So you don’t have to wait for the old one to collapse you can make do with an all new one.

Looks great Debbie.

Very nice Deb…great reuse of the existing feeder. hehe…I don’t think I’d wait for the other one to break on it’s own. I like the new one a lot and you double the number of feeders.

I have to post a picture of the feeder I just made for my Mom. She found some 30 year old plans from a feeder my Dad made all those years ago and asked me if I’d make another….I’ll be seeing her Wednesday, think I’ll get a picture and post it then.

Good job, Debbie. I like it!

thanks. The birds aren’t too impressed yet, but we usually have to let the regular feeders get empty before they will head to a new one.

Very nicely done, Ms Debbie, and a credit for keeping our avian friends fed.

-- Peace, LJ http://mysite.verizon.net/biznxgtf/4Goldens.org

thanks LJ.
feeding the birds is for very selfish reasons. Rick and I sit outside very morning and every evening and we get to watch them. It is a real pleasure in our day.

Nice job Debbie.
The only comment I would make is that I would stagger the feeding perches as I find the birds will poop on each other when you line em up like that.

the perches were already there— from the reused section. But i’ll remember that for next time.
Yesterday I watched a sparrow peck at a goldfinch until the goldfinch flew away. They had a beak-fight!!
The funny thing was that it was on an “upside down feeding perch” that only the goldfinches can eat at.
Those sparrows—gotta watch them!
Never seen one get pooped on before though. I’ll have to keep my eyes open for that one.

Great feeder Deb. The first set of doves nesting on my house are working on their 4th clutch. The second set is on their second. So far 8 babies in total.

Bob… where’s the pix?

Wayne—we didn’t get a dove in the box that we built.
But Rick’s thrilled that wrens moved into his “log turned into a house”. Now if only they’d move into this fancy-shmancy house.
