Built this a few weeks ago. Finally figured out how to keep the squirrels from eating everything. 5 feet of 7" duct. It's funny watching them try.

easiest bird feeder ever!
Comments (4)Your candy dish is cute. Love your birdie picture. Silly birds they build nests in the craziest places. Last year killdeers built a nest amongest our hostas. Our grandkids, 3 and 5 loved watching the eggs go from eggs to babies, to grown up birds, very educational for them and grandma....See Morehummers don't like new bird feeder
Comments (10)The replacement bird feeder actually isn't new. I bought it and used it last year, but had it in a different location. I didn't get it out this year until last week when the old feeder on my kitchen window was leaking due to a crack in the bottom. But I've always had a feeder on my kitchen window...are those little birds that smart to notice that it is a different feeder than the one I had up earlier last week? The old one was solid red, about 10" tall, with 4 yellow "flowers" to feed from. The current one is a clear globe (kind of shaped like a hot-air balloon). Only the bottom is red, but it still has the 4 yellow flowers to feed from....See MoreHow to birds 'detect' a new bird feeder at first?
Comments (1)They are constantly checking their territory for new food sources, so one or two of them blunder into the feeder and start eating, other birds see them eating and it's been discovered....See MoreSetting up new Bird Feeder
Comments (1)Cool! I recently decided to refill my set of feeders yesterday. Today the sparrows and mourning doves were flocking over. And I saw a raptor of some sort nearby... Not exactly relevant, but I thought I'd mention :). If you don't already have it, I recommend Nature's Window Apple Orchard seed mix. It's like ice cream for the birds... They love it soooo much with a tube feeder. Let me know what birds you attract with this!...See Morefloral_uk z.8/9 SW UK
