I showed you the bird feeder I made out of a baked orange, so I thought I’d tell you how it’s going with the birds.
They ignored it hanging up. I think that’s because there’s no perch for them. When I removed the strings and sat the feeder on a patio table, the birds devoured the seeds right away.
It may be possible to make holes in the feeder to insert a small dowel rod for a perch, but for now I like the feeding cup. There’s something oddly soothing about seeing a bird eat out of an orange. Not sure why.
