A Bat House Builder’s Book
Providing homes for bats is mostly beneficial as natural pest control. Bat conservation groups have been growing in popularity, as these little guys are pretty good neighbors to have around. You need not spend a fortune on a bat house. Smaller wooden houses are comparable to your basic nest box. However, there are the deluxe models for accommodating whole colonies too.
You may want to try building your own bat house if you’re so inclined. Many plans are available on the internet, some are even offered free by bat conservation groups. Bat habitat has become a front row player among birding accessories, as several reputable companies now manufacture recycled plastic bat houses that are guaranteed to last a lifetime!

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. Squirrel baffles are deigned to work on one pole, yet using one will protect all of the feeders on that pole. See our bird feeder/squirrel baffle set up in the photo at left. 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!

Adjustable Bird Seed Catchers
Tired of the ground mess below feeders?
Once again, a nifty little design whose innovation is beautiful in simplicity! These new bird seed catchers are something of a new breed and totally adjustable to fit any bird feeder. They’re called SeedHoops and are available in two sizes. A 16-inch diameter for tube, globe, and smaller feeders, and a 30-inch model to accommodate larger feeders.
Heavy-duty, yet light-weight, they’re easy to clean, and fold for easy storage. The SeedHoop seed catchers actually allow more birds to feed on the fallen seed while creating this additional platform space. Birds who may not perch at the birdfeeder itself may be enticed on the platform for a quick meal too. Save seed, save money, and forget the mess below bird feeders!
