some very wild bird feeders indeed
Since backyard birding has become such a popular hobby over the last few years, the array of functional products has pretty much exploded. Artisans and smaller companies are offering hand crafted wares like wild bird feeders, birdhouses and cool bird baths in a myriad of materials. Copper, vinyl, stoneware and ceramics are those materials with durability to last a lifetime. And unlike wood… the squirrels can not chew them to pieces!

With buds popping up from the ground, and buds starting to bloom, we know spring is just around the corner. This is a great time for spruce up in the yard. Please remember to clean out birdhouses in preparation for new visitors, and dispose of the nest in the trash or a good distance from the house as old nests will attract predators. Wild bird feeders should be cleaned periodically to remove mold and bacteria thus preventing the spread of disease. Scrub with a simple bleach solution of 1 to 10 parts water, and rinse thoroughly. This works just as effectively s any commercial bird feeder cleaning sprays.
Welcome spring and happy birding!
