Recently we've been thinking about the joy both we and our cat get from watching birds from our windows.
It made us recall a serious temptation: the lovely Eva Solo Bird Table. What feathered friends would pass up an opportunity to have their meals on such a stylish feeder?










Just please don't feed sunflower seeds as shown. Anyone who has ever had a parrot will tell you that sunflower seeds are bad news. Fatty, addicting, avian junk-food.

Regarding boomer's sunflower seed comment, sunflower seeds are the preferred seed of many common backyard birds including jays, cardinals, chickadees, several varieties of finches and sparrows and doves. Sadly, grackles love the, too.

The bird feeder is gorgeous, but out of my price range. I'll have to make do with my cheap feeders from hardware stores.

It sure is pretty and I've been tempted but I wonder how these would hold up to squirrels. I used to have a bird feeder but it became a squirrel feeder.

Is it big enough for birds like pigeons? These look like small breeds in which case would there be enough room under that dome for larger (but not large) birds to perch?

OK. I just assumed that what is bad for parrots would be bad for other birds too, speaking as someone who had a conure for several years. Once birds get hooked on the wrong food, they'll starve to death rather than switch.

I've got one lone sunflower in the front of my stoop. I don't know what kind it is, only that it has multiple heads. The birds are going crazy over it. Absolutely love it and I get to watch them through my front window.
