apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

In my tiny little opinion that is an obscenely low price for something that looks like a million dang bucks. That is the absolutely most beautiful, most modern, most delicious bird feeder I've ever seen in all my born days.

That said, I must agree that the sage green one is best, because if the birds are interesting colors, it's the one color that wouldn't fight with their own colors. For instance, a cardinal on the red one might seem redundant. A bluejay on the blue one might seem as innocuous as a peahen.

But the green one is amazing.

I have such mixed feelings about bird feeders. The seeds will wreak havoc in a garden and luring birds as cat treats is cruel. Still, I want to sit and watch the birds!

This feeder is great for small birds, but larger birds like magpies will dump the seed.

Just bought the green one - LOVE THEM! Such an amazing deal just as Curtis said above. Compared to the egg shaped glazed feeders, I think this one is just as stylish as those priced around $130!

Ooh - want! But, the last time I started to feed the birds in my backyard I wound up attracting.......RATS! I love the look of this feeder but I don't want to incur the wrath of my neighbors again for bringing the vermin ever closer.

"For instance, a cardinal on the red one might seem redundant. A bluejay on the blue one might seem as innocuous as a peahen."

Choosing a hue that contrasts with the wildlife— now that's color dedication! I like the red one. Too bad, scarlet tanagers! These might also make lovely candle holders, too. Nestle a pillar into some sand or gravel.

I almost bought this at our local bird store the other day, but I was (and am) concerned about the seeds turning to mush on a rainy day. I'd love to hear reviews from anybody who owns one.

als1, I wouldn't worry too much about the seed turning to mush. Don't put out more seed than the birds will eat in 1 or 2 days.

Regarding rats, we take our bird feeders inside in the evening to deter the local prairie rats.

The description also says there are drainage holes for (I presume) rain.

Hey Boomer, I'm a PNW'er, too. I bet squirrels who try to infiltrate this birdfeeder would probably slide right off. It would make me squee with joy to watch it happen -- insta-entertainment!

And yes, I hate squirrels. They're nasty boogers who taunt my dog and throw stuff at him.

Oh, remember when someone used an orb-shaped hanging birdfeeder in their entryway, for housekeys and such? I want to do that, with this.

tequila red,

that is an excellent idea! I could also see that concept working with this in particular over a kitchen sink for sponges, given the drainage holes.
