Nice one mate.  My daughter likes the idea of feeding the birds, but then she 'shoos' them away for eating the food. ::) :D

I would like a bird feeder, and I think my cats would love one too, but I would be the one clearing up the bloody mess that was left afterwards unfortunately.  :rofl:

We just made some fat ball type things as the poor little fellas must be struggling for a decent feed right now.

Good on ya :tu:

Though I can't help but think that maybe Minty's just doing that to fatten the birds up a bit, before callously murdering them for din, din's :D

Just a thought about the design of your feeder and maybe you should put a short piece of tubing split along its length and slip it on where the feet land. It might make a more stable perching place for the wee birdies to cling too whilst feeding. Perhaps even a straw split and glued into place would do it.

I watch birds around here and their little feet might have a hard time holding on to that edge of the plastic bottle.

Just an idea...............
