GPI, it would have been great if pam caouette had included a picture of the Platform feeder, so we would kinda have an idea what it looks like. I'm sure its there somewhere, i just couldnt find it.

Here's a nifty idea for a bird feeder, Well I think it's a bird feeder....

This platform one is stocked up by a glass bottle

Cheers

Two great ideas inishindie. Love the bottle one especially. Where did you take these?

Hi Verge

I saw them at the Bloom shown in Dublin. They were in a plot that had ideas for planting up a school garden. Apart from an area for feeding wildlife, there was a composting area,recycling area, raised bds with flowers and vegetables (all labelled) and easy access. It was good and messy, just what kids like...

Cheers

Ian

We made a simple one with an old short plank, cup hooks and bailer twine. It was hung so that if anything larger than a thrush landed, it would tip them off - because of our cats.

As the cats learned by experiential learning.

Robins of course are ground feeders and find the hanging feeders hard. They loved that platform.
