A co-worker's husband created this cool bird feeder. She gave it to me filled with sunflower seeds. It is a hit with birds of all sizes. What a cool Christmas Present!
He used 2 metal pie plates and hardware screen. Be sure to add drainage holes in the bottom as he did.

Thanks Teresa and Dennis!!!
Now for the loneliest feeder in my yard. I brought this feeder at Lowe's a few weeks ago along with some dried meal-worms. I was hoping that Bluebirds or maybe a Woodpecker would visit. Sigh....
Maybe the location is wrong. I will move it to a more isolated area and see what happens.
Wishing Peace,Health,Wealth,and Love to ALL!
That was a great and thoughtful gift for you - they know you well. Sandie
ReplyDeleteCool feeder! He was very creative.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why they don't like the mealworms?? Are there specific birds that would like them?
What a great bird feeder. I love the pie plate one. They sure knew a good gift for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised nothing's gone for the mealworms. Great 'gift'!
ReplyDeleteI like the new feeder Jean. Another one for me to have a go at making. Just a thought concerning the other feeder: maybe it is a bit too shiny, and reflections are scaring the birds?
ReplyDeleteLove the homemade bird feeder! How was the wire attached to the pans?
ReplyDeleteI like the simplicity of the first one, but it doesn't look too squirrel proof
ReplyDeleteThat's a very cool homemade bird feeder!
ReplyDeleteHi Jean. Nice present indeed. I've given you an award over at my blog, but please don't feel obliged to accept and respond unless you really want to.
ReplyDeleteNext spring/summer I am hanging bird feeders again, now that we're not on the road all the time. Haven't had any for years while we traveled
ReplyDeleteCOOL feeder he did an excellent job...I have one similar that I got at Tractor Supply...the birds do love it..HOPE it attracks lots of great birds for you...
ReplyDeleteBoth the bird feeders look great, but the first one has its uniqueness so it looks very different and interesting. Besides it was your Christmas present, so it is definitely special.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments.
ReplyDeleteAs for the questions: The hardware mesh just sits between the pie plates.
The 2nd feeder is clear plastic.
Jean, Thanks for the award. It is sweet that you included me. Dang...I don't have the time to promote them.:(
Thanks again folks!!!
