Very Wild Bird Feeders Indeed!
Wild, whimsical, funky, crazy, call them what you may, but they are all totally functional! Wild bird feeders that are handmade pottery are an excellent choice as they will withstand freezing winter temperatures and the killer heat of summer. Since they are stoneware with special glazes, fading is not an issue, and squirrels can’t gnaw on them either!
Be it a Hot Lips Hilda, Laughing Green Man, or Cool Kat, they are terrific variations of the traditional tube bird feeder. Rubber stoppers on the bottom provide for filling and cleaning (dishwasher- safe too). They work best with sunflower seed, but if you’re like me and don’t want the mess below bird feeders, sunflower hearts and chips are preferred.

A Glass Bird Feeder…A work of Art
Wild bird feeders are available in a myriad of styles, colors and materials. Today artisans craft bird feeders from copper, hand-thrown pottery, and even stained glass, not mention the old standby-wood. It is believed that wood bird feeders are unhealthy for wild birds as they are porous and can breed bacteria. This makes a glass bird feeder an excellent choice that will surely enhance any landscape, and attract wild birds.
Glass reflects light, so there’s an added aesthetic of natural beauty. Glass feeders come in several styles, including hoppers, tubes and hanging options. If you’re looking for something unique in the way of feeders, glass is a great choice.

Functional Sculpture for Your Yard
People like to hang things in their yards….we see it all the time. Wind chimes, wind socks, flags, and the usual suspects, birdhouses and feeders. With hummingbird season approaching (starting now in the southeast region) it’s time to hang them as well.
This very cool hummingbird feeder is whimsical garden art, that is totally functional too. The pods look small but hold 10 ounces of nectar each. They have a special UV coating that resists fading or scratches, to keep them looking new.
A neat sculptural mobile to feed your hungry hummers. What will they think of next?
