    tube birdfeedersAttracting and feeding wild birds has never been more interesting!

    There are so many wonderful types of feeders available now for maximum songbird attraction and viewing pleasure, while providing unique garden decor!  Backyard birding provides a “de-stressor” and relief from hectic everyday schedules.  It also compensates for the loss of habitat many species of wild birds face today.

    Tube birdfeeders are always a great choice as many birds are attracted to them. Their versatility allows you to change seed mixes with seasons too.  In fabulous designs, from traditional to fun and funky, tube birdfeeders are available in single, double and even triple tube models.tube birdfeeders

    The triple tube designs allow for feeding multiple seed mixes at once, thus attracting a greater variety of species.  Also, tube feeders that include seed trays, will spare you the mess on the ground below feeders.

    Ever had a bird feeder with a name?  Meet Hot Lips Hilda!  This weather-proof stoneware birdfeeder is totally for the birds!  Her beehive hairdo and cat eye glasses are reminiscent of the 1950’s diner waitress.  A rubber stopper on th bottom provides for filling and cleaning, and she holds about 2 lbs. of  seed.  We’ve fornd that sunflower seed works best, and especially like the “hearts and chips” as it leaves no mess below bird feeders.

    Hand made in the USA, the Hot Lips Hildas are vibrant, fabulous wild bird feeders that make great gifts for the naure lover on your list, or that one person who “has everything”

    A Good Wood Birdhouse Destroyed By Squirrels

    July 10, 2009 /

    wood birdhouseI’ve been on a rant about the squirrels in our yard lately…and here is just another statistic!  At one time this was a really nice wood birdhouse, but it’s now become a squirrel box.  And that is ok, because squirrels need a place to roost on cold winter nights too , but I was pretty sure they nested in trees.  Now I do recall seeing Squirrel houses, so I wonder how many broods may have been born and raised in this multi-compartment house?

    Now that there are some 25 to 40 squirrels invading the yard, and it’s getting totally out of control…we’re not so sure about the cute little bushy-tailed critters.  We have lots of bird feeders, but we have even more squirrel baffles!

    Oh yes, and the chicken wire adorning the 5-inch hole in the screen porch looks just lovely too…Thanks a lot Mr. Squirrel!wood birdhouse
