New birdfeeders

[darkcedars]

I have been having so much fun feeding the birds that my dad made a birdfeeder for me. Piece of barn board from the family farm (we haven't used the actual barn in decades now).  I can see this from the living room window, is between the lilac and forsythia. 



And I was having trouble with the starlings eating all the suet, so I asked my husband to 3D print a little house, this should let the woodpeckers have a chance (feeding from below).  he took the opportunity to use up the gold filament that he hates.

Yay!

That looks like a great hopper feeder.

Good way to use up a disliked color.

Things made with 3D filament can be fragile, though. You might need to hang it where it can't hit anything by swaying in the wind.

Sometimes woodpeckers have a hard time figuring out a roofed suet cage. I hang mine sideways, then angled, then with the roof on top, so that they can adapt to it.

I like how the gold looks! That's such a cool use of a 3D printer.

Very nice!
