Hi all, I needed a new bird tale last week and went of to the GC to have a look. We have a modern house so I wanted a modern looking one to hang on some steel trellis. The only ones available are ALL made of wood and very traditional looking. Ended up getting one and painting it blue to at least make it a bit less twee. Then a got into a discussion with a poster here (the sculptor) about bird feeders and tables.... He makes squirrel proof feeders which look great! His site is www.llamaseven.com I was wondering about a hanging steel bird table..... but while discussing it over breakfast this morning Leo said that maybe metal is not such a good idea as the birds feet might get stuck on it in freezing weather? I was thinking of that ribbed steel they use for floors etc or maybe a hardwood base with a simple stainless steel roof? Any ideas or thoughts on this? I have seen metal hanging bird feeders in painted metal and verdigris copper, but shiny things tend to scare birds e.g. the rows of cds I hang up scare the birds off my Brassicas quite effectively and it seems that you might get a similar effect with a stainless steel bird feeder? The CDs I hung up took the birds all of 5 minutes to learn to ignore. Are your CDs Val Doonigan CDs or what? -- Martin |
