Feed the Birds

Posted by Jayme on December 29, 2007

Keep your fluttering friends happy all winter long with this cool bird feeder from Sprout Home. The mouth blown glass is strong enough to take a beating from the elements. Just pour in your favorite seed mix and hang wherever you wish.My favorite nature lookout is from the kitchen window. Washing the dishes has become much more enjoyable. Here are some helpful tips to keeping your new neighbors happy:

  1. Mount feeders high but within reach for easy filling.
  2. Fill feeders with only one type of seed mix. If you want variety, buy multiple feeders.
  3. Keep your feeders clean!
