Bat Houses to Last a Lifetime
Recycled plastics are where it’s at today! For so many reasons they’re the perfect choice for just about any product. Aside from keeping the milk jugs and containers out of landfills, the birding accessories manufactured are guaranteed to never crack, split, fade, or warp.This is an awesome claim, and most companies even stand by the guarantee…because it’s true. Another benefit is the non-porous surface. It’s easy to clean and disinfect, and less likely to breed bacteria. Recycled Bat Houses offer bats an excellent habitat. The material also stabilizes temperatures more effectively than wood. This is an important factor with bat houses, as bats prefer a warmer, and somewhat moist environment.
Invite bats to hang out in your yard and control insect populations the natural way!

A Need for New Kind of Seed Catchers
With all of the great advancements in backyard birding products, you would think someone would have developed a seed catcher that works with mult-hanger poles and shepherd’s hooks.

Some pole-mount squirrel baffles have a seam and separate in order to install on the pole. Why not seed catchers?They’re an excellent item if you’d rather keep the area clean below feeders. So, then how come they don’t make seed catchers, or seed trays that will work in this fashion? We think it’s an excellent idea, and wish someone would get to work on it soon!
