Bird Feeding Tables

[tarotangel]

Does any one know of a good one for up here that will withstand the wind? Been looking about for one and the only thing I can think o doing is digging down and burying the feet.

We get a few wild bids on E-bay, whatever the weather. Spelling thing there...

 

It was fun while it lasted.

 

You will have to think of what birds you want to visit your table, the type of food you want to place on it and its hight.

The feet? Not sure what you mean there. In the most exposed areas a simple square of plywood screwed to the top of a fence post serves well enough without fear of blowing away. To stop the feed blowing off you just need to panel-pin a bead around the edges, leaving the corners open to allow run-off.

I forgot Cartoon ones had feet, sure enough garden centres seem to be selling cartoon style bird tables may of matchsticks. No good for man or bird, a scoorie would knock them down.

 

A rooved table attached to a fence post is probbably your best bet, unless you want to feed every gull in bressay. Do you no still have your old brownie handbook, seem to remember some designs in there.

Thanks for correcting the spelling.

 

I'm afraid no handbooks left, did a lot of decluttering.

 

I think I'll go with the attaching one to the fencepost idea and hope no one complains (in sheltered housing)

 

Thanks for all the ideas

You can even spend your pennies and get ones that suction cup to your window
