copper bird feeder is not wood!
In four years we’ve seen three returns… and in my book that’s a beautiful thing. Happy customers are usually returning customers and nothing makes us happier! Sometimes I dread the phone call because I fear shipping and transit was a bit too rough and something broke. But today the call was an amusing repeat situation from about two years ago, and a great testament to product quality.Mr. Dan O. in Palomar Mountain, CA., had ordered a gazebo style copper roof bird feeder, the one shown here actually. Now these are crafted in PVC/Vinyl, ensuring little to no maintenance, and many, many years of use. He proceeded to tell me he “ordered a vinyl feeder, but received a wooden one instead”. At least this time I wasn’t s so confused! “No… tap on it” I asked him. Explaining that the artist does not work with wood, I think he was convinced that the feeder was indeed vinyl. That’s part of the beauty of these copper roof bird feeders and houses – the vinyl is not “plasticy”, shiny, or cheesy-looking in the least. They actually do look like wood. By the way, the first person to let me know that his feeder was made of wood rather than vinyl, hailed from (near my home town) Cape May, New Jersey. Boy… do I miss the beach.
If you’re looking for an elegant feeder or house that will stand up to the elements while enticing feathered friends, then check out these gorgeous copper roof feeders to grace your landscape. Promo code MC10 at checkout will nab 10% off your order, and best of all… shipping is on us 🙂

all seasons wren casita edible birdhouse
Scorching temperatures and lack of rain have left most of the country in the dust-literally. For wildlife, these extended conditions prove to be daunting. It’s difficult to find food and water, and even more critical when raising young. Birds in our yard have actually been taking seed from feeders to feed fledgelings, Cardinals and Thrashers to be exact. Mother Nature’s device of “survival of the fittest” is in full swing this summer.So as far as feeding birds in summer… why wouldn’t you? Food sources are scarce, and supplemental feeding may mean the difference between life or death for some baby birds.
This edible birdhouse provides seeds for lots of resident songbirds. If protected from the elements and squirrels, it should last a while. And even if the seed goes faster than anticipated, you’re left with a real wren house that provides a perfect nesting site for next season. The wooden house beneath the seed may be stained, painted, or left natural. During the “off-season”, the house makes for a great roosting spot too. Appropriately named the “All-Seasons Wren Casita” it makes a fantastic gift for any birder or nature enthusiast… or even for yourself!
Be kind to wildlife and offer fresh water if you’re in a drought-stricken area. A shallow bowl of water makes a swell birdbath, even a plant saucer is great. Just keep water fresh and birds will come!

simple bird feeder bracket brings roses closer for smelling!
The back deck is a perfect place to catch close up views of avian amigos while going about your daily routine. A glimpse out the kitchen or breakfast room window may reveal a little touch of magic that literally takes you out of that routine… if you’re lucky.Since we never have enough time to “stop and smell the roses” – bringing them closer to home makes it easier! Bird feeder brackets are made for decks or walls, and there are lots from which to choose.
Say you don’t want a feeder and messy seeds all over the deck? No-waste seed mixes eliminate mess, or try a hummingbird feeder instead. Ants are a problem with that? Nope… ant moats will take care of pesky ants.
Forget the whole feeder idea and try a birdbath! Fresh water is the most effective way to entice more feathered friends. Using a bird feeder bracket to hang a birdbath works beautifully. There’s no fuss or mess, just keep water fresh for optimal use. And don’t forget to glance out the window every so often, as a one little bird just might bring a big smile 🙂
