Modern houses and feeders for our fine, feathered friends
Which came first?
Gift your winged friends a candy-colored, handmade feeder. The squirrel-proof stoneware egg is suspended by a rust-resistant, vinyl-coated wire and holds ten cups of bird food that spills gradually onto an aluminum plate below. The base has four small drainage holes to prevent water accumulating in the food. $165. Jschatz.com
