May be I should get some of them. Birds wont go near the ones I have. Have two round ones for seed with perch's as well as one cedar with the cake and a humming bird feeder. No matter what I do birds wont go near any of them.

wow that is soooo cool! I love the way those look!! hey jimmy, have you tried putting thistle seed in your feeders? I bet within a few weeks you'll be having your yard bombarded with goldfinches like mine! laugh laugh (do you have goldfinches in your area though? Is it to hot for them?)

Now that is a really unique feeder! And since I have no trees in the yard, it would be a great way to attract birds to areas where the shrubs are.

I like those too Loz. They have a lot more detail to them with the smaller cattails and the butterfly.

No Jamie I haven't tries thistle seed. Just the wild bird seed and the cake stuff as well as the Humming bird nector I tried last year. Cindy told me to do just sugar and see still no hummers. I have seen finches around as to what type I don't know Nostly just crows which never come near the feeders and this orange looking bird real prety has a crest like a Cardinal I can't seem to get a photo of him hard as I try. Maybe I should just throw them away and stop spending money have seen some Monarch's here so no reason I shouldn't see the birds.
