On May 25 I did show you the special Gift Bird Feeder that we received in The Netherlands. Two sweet little kids had hand painted it for us and Pieter hung it up against a tree. There was a jar inside with some kind of peanut-butter-like bird food. It got emptied but all of a sudden some critter had tossed the entire jar out of the feeder! That happened more than once, we knew that could not be done by a squirrel so maybe a raccoon or possom did it. Pieter decided to change it into a Bird House instead!
Here it is; converted into a Bird House!
That was quite a large and heavy jar with yummy food but it got pulled out of this Feeder several times...
This little girl with her brother had hand painted it...
Pieter, being color blind himself, tried to match the artwork of the little girl and her artist brother...
In the back you can see a hand made Squirrel Proof Bird House by Pieter, link you find below post.
This was a new addition and supposed to be squirrel proof. There is a spring that shuts off by weight but the squirrels hang upside down from the roof tip and easily manage to grab whatever they like.
It does not have enough height for keeping the squirrels from reaching far enough. Too bad!
A hummingbird feeder hangs to the right.
