When winter comes and turns the gardens into an icy snowy landscape, the food of many songbirds is running out. A bird feeder helps them through the cold season.
Birds that stayed in winter, such as bullfinches, It is usually not necessary to feed the titmouse and robin, but brings great joy to many people. Also, it opens up opportunity, Observing birds up close, which one rarely sees otherwise – and that's a good reason, to start construction immediately. So that the bird feeder is a real feast for the eyes, we built it on three floors, with good views and lots of space, to be prepared for large crowds.
In order not to do any harm, you should only put out the food in small portions. Not only, because it could get wet in the airy building, but also because the birds themselves make a lot of dirt. Regular cleaning is therefore important: It's very easy, when you loosen the acorn nut and pull the floors off the threaded rod. As a special offer, you can also hang tit rings and apples on the dowel rods. So that the aviary does not become a feeding place for cats, it says on one 2 m high post, which is erected with an impact sleeve. Now nothing stands in the way of the winter feasts in the Vogelvilla.
