A New Generation of wild bird feeders
Let’s face it…aesthetics is truly a matter of taste, and sure does vary with each individual. “One man’s trash…”Bird Feeders are no exception to this rule. A new generation of wild bird feeders range from fun and funky, to antiqued and retro, even the simplistic style of Feng Shui. Most are hand crafted, bringing individual style and uniqueness to each piece. Materials that have been around forever are being used to transform the mundane into terrific art for the garden. Art to be admired, enjoyed, and to feed the birds!
Wild bird feeders for suet, seed, fruit, or just about anything you’d like to offer feathered friends, are crafted by those who have a passion for birds. The quality will surpass any wild bird feeder found in a “big-box store”.
The suet feeder shown here is anything but your traditional wire cage. Sustainable bamboo, glass and stoneware are used to create this beautiful, yet functional wild bird feeder. Weather-proof stoneware is also used in creating the oh-so-fun Hot Lips Hilda. She’s a seed feeder who’s guaranteed to entice many a wild bird.
Whether you’re considering a new feeder for the winter season, or maybe in search of a great gift, consider uniqueness, quality and just plain fun as factors. Wild bird feeders help feathered friends to thrive and flourish all year long.

Gorgeous Stained Glass Bird Feeder
When sunlight catches the shimmer of stained glass, it can leave a beautiful impression. Functional items that instill a sense of beauty are sometimes difficult to come by, they’re far and few between in the birding accessories realm.The artist of this stained glass bird feeder hand hammers the copper roof and base to create a unique look for his glass feeders and houses. The glass is available in several vibrant and rich hues, and custom work is even accepted to create a one-of-kind piece. Last Christmas a customer had requested a glass bird feeder in red and green stained glass…it came out gorgeous!
One of the advantages to glass bird feeders is the non-porous material. Bacteria and fungus that are more likely to settle deep into wood crevices have a much tougher time with glass. Your birds and the surrounding population experience a cleaner, healthier feeding environment. And when it comes to cleaning glass feeders and houses – it’s a breeze.
Birdhouses and bird feeders are an excellent gift choice for the “impossible person to buy for” on your list. They’re extremely long lasting items that will actually get used, admired and enjoyed for many seasons. Never any worries of the dreaded re-gifting with hand made glass bird feeders and houses.

Best to Baffle Those Peanut Bird Feeders
Since peanuts are a wildly popular treat among many birds – and squirrels too, it’s best to protect peanut bird feeders with a baffle of some sort. If not blocked, the furry little critters can empty a feeder in a matter of hours, and then they go tell all their friends about the fantastic stash they’ve just discovered!Woodpeckers, Blue Jays, Nuthatches, Juncos, Goldfinches, Chickadees, Grosbeaks, Cardinals, Pine Siskins, and Titmice are some birds who enjoy feasting at peanut bird feeders. They’re made to accommodate shelled or whole peanuts in the shell, and I can promise, squirrels covet both kinds.
The large capacity peanut bird feeder shown here hangs from a standard shepherd’s hook. The pole, or straight part is equipped with a metal, wrap-around baffle which prevents squirrels from climbing the pole. Although they still try everyday to reach the feeder, it remains safe from their antics.
Keeping squirrels from any type of bird feeder will save lots of money over time that is spent on seed. Investing in a few quality baffles is definitely worth it!
