Some Forums Better than Bird Books
Recently I was milling through some birding forums, and was pleasantly surprised to find some great information there! I mean real, useful, and practical tips for backyard birders.
Here’s a great idea you won’t find in bird books:
A person wrote of a great solution to the too-well known problem with tube feeders. The seed condenses and clogs at the bottom…happens all the time. This person took their bird feeder apart and placed a few ping pong balls in the bottom. Sounds kinda crazy but solves the problem of clogged tube feeders!
The seed disperses around the balls instead of clumping up at the bottom of the feeder…genius!

Fine Art Glass Bird Feeder
The mention of unique birdhouses or bird feeders just seems… not so unique anymore. But this hand made copper and stained glass bird feeder is anything but the usual. Hand hammered copper, and vibrant hues of stained glass make this bird feeder a work of functional art for any environment.
Glass, being non-porous is less likely to retain bacteria and molds, making it a great choice for feeders, and healthier birds too. This hopper style feeder has ample perching room for birds to eat comfortably, and holds approx. 3 lbs. of mixed seed. It features proper drainage for seed and a copper hanger too. Available in five colors that seem to magically reflect sunlight, it makes an extraordinary gift for any nature-lover on your list.

Curvy, Swirvey Ceramic Tube Birdfeeder
There’s something to be said for free-form, natural shapes found in nature…they just look really cool and seem to flow with their surroundings. These hand made ceramic birdfeeders seem to imitate nature’s shapes and compliment any landscape. With vibrant color, they add a touch of whimsy, creating a focal point that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing….birds love them too!
A tube birdfeeder usually has multiple perches to accommodate several birds eating at once. Their versatility is great, as they may be filled with any kind of birdseed or seed mix. Some tube feeders even come with seed trays to help prevent spillage and allow more perching room. Sizes vary from about 1 quart to 5 quarts in this style.
