Some Very Cool Built In Seed Trays
The evolution of backyard birding is a beautiful thing…innovative products that just keep outdoing the old models and keep getting better and better. Bird feeders that allow full view of all birds at once, with easy filling and cleaning features, taking into account the health of the bird populations feeding from them.This weather-proof feeder’s innovative design keeps seed absolutely 100% dry – by having birds feed from below the ports, which are well sheltered by a rain guard. The built in seed tray serves as a perch, allowing more birds to feed at once. It also catches any spilled birdseed. Whether built in, or as an addition to a feeder, seed trays serve both birds and humans well. They offer additional feeding space for some birds who may not even perch at the feeder. And keep ground conditions more sanitary and healthy for the general bird population by thwarting the growth of bacteria and the spread of disease. For human kind, they catch spilled seed saving you the hassle of unsightly weeds and brown patches below feeders. They’ll also save money in the long run too. If you’ve haven’t tried one and are tired of the ground mess below feeders, it’s definitely worth the small investment.

Bird Field Guides are Best on the Table
Whether bird watching in the wild or in your backyard, it’s human nature and simple curiosity to know the species you’re actually viewing. So many wild birds look alike, with the tiniest markings which differentiate the species. Wing bars, eye lines, beak length and color, and tail length are just a few common identifiers. It’s easy to mistake a black capped chickadee for a nuthatch, and the same for so many of the warblers.
Bird Field Guides can easily answer any question as to which species you might be seeing. Indexed and well organized, they’re full of great photos and pertinent information on just about every wild bird species out there. So whether on a field trip, or watching from the breakfast room window, it’s really handy to keep a field guide close by for that special or new bird that you may glimpse and marvel at its beauty.
These books make excellent and lasting gifts for any birding enthusiast too!

The Best Squirrel Baffles are the Ones That Work!
Squirrels and Squirrel Baffles
Let’s face it…squirrels can ruin the joys of backyard birding in no time flat! They can eat their weight in seed in one week, and destructive little devils… they’ll chew through feeders like tomorrow! Squirrel Baffles that are not used correctly are useless. They must be strategically placed to keep squirrels at bay. After all, they are crafty little critters who can jump up to six feet high and eight feet across, just like little supermen.
The electronic squirrel baffle called the Twirl-A-Squirrel, takes the guess work out of squirrel baffle/birdfeeder placement. This innovative little gadget allows you the complete liberty of placing bird feeders where you actually want them, and not just where squirrels can’t get to them. A pretty important factor to take into consideration if you enjoy feeding your feathered friends and bird watching! The Twirl-A-Squirrel is absolutely harmless to squirrels as well, the motorized baffle gently spins them to the ground when they can no longer hang on to the feeder. Check out the video below…it’s hilarious!
It really doesn’t spin that fast…this video has been remixed, but you’ll get the jist.
