Finch Feeder ~ easy to make


Our bird feeder: the owl-faced or double barred finches are easily distinguished from the firetail finches with their red brow and tail feathers (more pictures somewhere below).

The feeder is made by modifying a hanging fern basket to hold a plastic pot-plant base, about 20cm diameter. A larger base can also be inverted and used as a roof. The projecting stick is a must-have.

On our mini-honeymoon, we had bluejays and squirrels fighting over the peanuts we'd put out on the porch. It was so cool! :)
