MARIETTE'S BACK TO BASICS: {Gift Bird Feeder}

{Gift Bird Feeder}

When we were in The Netherlands we did receive a very special gift...

Such a hand painted Bird Feeder by little kids' hands is unique...

Indeed, made in The Netherlands WITH LOVE!

Serious painting...

Here it is hanging on a tree...

Holding some yummy bird food.

Guess it will need a perching stick for birds to actually sit on when snacking. Stick got added yesterday so birds can now sit on it!

It got moved towards our huge dogwood tree and you can see it to the right. This is the main Bird Restaurant area of our garden and we always can watch them from the bay window of our kitchen during breakfast and such. Our Spicy girl loves to go there after her breakfast but the early birds have already eaten!

Now the wooden perching stick has been added and a lot of the seeds with peanut butter have been eaten away.

Those two kids did a great job and it blends in with nature so well! Do you also feed your wild birds?

Dearest Mariette,
The birds will love it!
And I do so too :D
A couple of days ago I could see the temperature at your place, 33 degrees. We also have summer now, 20-25 degrees. It´s enough for me, at least when I´m working..
Big hugs to you!
Astrid

Liebe Mariette,
das ist ein sehr schönes Futterhäuschen. Gut, dass du eine Sitzstande
angebracht hast. die Vögel würden sonst evtl. fortbleiben.
Ich füttere die Vögel auch das ganze Jahr hindurch. Im Sommer kommen sie etwas
seltener, aber ab Herbst geht es wieder richtig los.
Ein schönes Wochenende wünscht Dir
Irmi

Liebe Mariette,
was für eine super Idee das gebastelte Vogelhäuschenist.
Ganz einfach und so wirkungsvoll.
Als Futter wird wohl Samen mit Fett gemischt?
Ein riesiger Baum. Ein Baum den es so bei uns nicht gibt. Er muss toll aussehen wenn er blüht.

Hab eine gute Zeit und alles Liebe.

Grüessli
Julia

Liebe Mariette,
das ist ja ein ganz besonderes Vogelhäuschen; mit so viel Liebe und Kreativität gemacht. Die Vögel freuen sich und danken Euch mit wunderschönen Gesängen....

Wir füttern unsere Vögel -Amsel-Drossel-Spatzen-Meisen-Rotkehlchen- mit geschälten Sonnenblumenkernen und Rosinen und haben das schönste Vogelgezwitscher frei Haus!

liebe Sonntagsgrüße aus dem Drosselgarten schickt Dir Traudi
