This “Beautiful” $19 Find Will Look So Good on Your Patio

Oh, how I wish that I had a yard and a full-fledged garden. With only a tiny balcony in New York City to work with, there are so many things I’m missing out on: Bird feeders, for one. If I put one up, I doubt it would attract anything other than pigeons — and besides, I’m sure it would attract too many pests. But seeing the photos that my Texas-based mom sends me of pretty birds perched on her bird feeder, I can’t help but dream.

When I was contemplating what to gift my mom for Mother’s Day, a bird feeder was one thing that came to mind (naturally). I didn’t realize there are so many interesting feeders out there, and during my search there was one in particular that became a serious contender. Amazon’s SWEETFULL Solar Bird Feeder won’t just create an opportunity for bird-watching in your yard, but it also doubles as a gorgeous lantern at night!

This two-in-one gem appears to have caught the attention of Amazon shoppers, too, as over 2,000 of them have bought it in the past month alone. It’s no wonder why — even if it is just a bird feeder, it’s prettier compared to many of your standard options. The golden metal and floral cutouts give it a boho vibe, which will make any patio feel more stylish. 

It’s rain-resistant and anti-rust, so it’ll look nice for a long time. The roof on top is designed to keep the interior dry, although if any rain does get through, there is a hole at the bottom to direct the flow out. According to shoppers, it’s easy to fill through the cap on top. The cutout design also makes it effortless to monitor the seed level.

Of course, this bird feeder really shines (pun intended) at night. You don’t have to worry about charging it because once you put some batteries in it’ll power up using the sun’s rays during the day, and will cast a warm glow over your garden or patio after sunset.

Average Rating: 4.4/5

“The bird feeder is beautiful and sturdy. I love sitting outside and seeing the birds feed. I love that when it starts gets dark, the light turns on and stays on for quite some time. If it is 11 p.m. when I go to bed, the light is still on. A good buy.” —AnaV

“I just want to say, this bird feeder got in a fight with 4 bears the other night and it … WON? Bears did not succeed at taking it and didn’t even dent it. We actually had a plastic one on the same stand and it’s gone … they stole it LOL. I want more of these so bad!” —Johnathan Novoa

“This is very pretty. There’s a clear plastic (removable) lining in the tube. It took the birds about a day to realize they couldn’t get to the seeds that way. The light shines through the scrollwork after dark. It’s very easy to fill.” —lenine

Let me live vicariously through you and add this stunning gem to your yard. But in all seriousness, the $17 sale price is too good to pass up — especially when it’s backed by nearly 4,000 five-star reviews!
