Love love love! I am trying to make something with chicken wire to not let house finch in (cuz they scream at the sight of food), but let lesser goldfinch and pine siskins eat.
this is seriously what i need! except.... i dont know how to make it. im sure i could if i had the directions. seeing how long ago you posted this you probably dont check these things much BUT... if you could PLEASE make a video showing how to make one of these or put the directions on a PDF and message it to me. thanks!
Hi there, how are you? Hope fantastic. I watched your video showing a few different birdfeeders and want to know how you made the one with the trash can lid. please share. Hope we get as many birds feeding as you have. Oh, what type of birdseed do you use? Thanks for your awesome skills!
+Kathleen Hunnicutt The feeder with the trash can lid isn't anything special. Its just a stout hopper style feeder with a cylindrical wire mesh cage around it to keep large birds out, and the old bear-damaged lid is a quick and effective rain cover. I have found that the best way to attract lots of birds is to simply have plenty of feeders, and NEVER let them run out seed (which is black-oil sunflower, by the way). Be aware that a lot of birds consume pounds of seed a day; at my peak, before I toned it down, I was going through 35 pounds in a week (expensive)! Thanks for the kind words.
this is pretty awesome.... have they tried eating thru the plastic? how long have you given the squirrels to figure it out? just had a bird paradise in my backyard destroyed this past wk.. so the battle is on!
The squirrel teaser 2000 !!! Disliked by all squirrels jus trying to get a nut/seed😂🤣 The STKO! Squirrel teaser knock out!! The old 1-2 3 combo punch?! Bahahahah door number one... no! Perch number 2... not! Perch number 3..... what the heck?!?!?! 🤣😂😜
+Jeannie Hill Ha! Never thought of that. But, to put your mind at ease, its not really possible, since the bird would have to somehow stick its head in before it landed on the perch, and have enough weight behind it to lift the counterweight (much more than a finch) and to shove a dull piece of plastic through its neck. Regardless, it has never happened, and I've used feeders like that for years now. Comment gave me a (somewhat grim) chuckle though.

A wise Sage.
