This is a dumpster diver's feeder that I made.
The top is a circle of acrylic that used to be part of a Belk's store
display. The metal basket is some kind of floral bouquet holder
repainted and attached to a part from my microwave that used
to be a timer/turntable. The now upside down turntable is attached with
screws to a bit of scrap wood. The wood is mounted on a flange that is
screwed onto a threaded pipe and the whole thing set into a larger pipe
driven in the ground. It's two story - except when it rains, then the
seed on the lower level stays dry. The birds seem to like it! Click on
photos to enlarge. It's cold and windy today and I've refilled the feeders
twice already.
I learned recently that at night, bunnies come to eat the corn and or seeds too. Imagine my surprise when the newly installed motion sensitive light went off and three rabbits were eating and cavorting under the feeders!
And because no post should considered complete without a cat photo....
Here's the beautiful Gracie. I absolutely love her Egyptian profile.
