I thought you all would like to see my new little bird feeder. My friend's brother made the bases for us.
He took copper pipe (he's a plumber) and soldered a washer on the top. I found a sugar bowl that had a chip on it and glued it to the washer with glue. I used "Amazing E-6000" glue, but you can use epoxy as well. You could use any kind of old chippy piece of china you happen to have that will hold the bird seed. A cup and saucer, a tea pot, a small bowl, or even a platter would work just fine.
I think it turned out just darling!
The birds are already starting to enjoy lunching on fine china!

You know Jean next those tweets are going to ask for crystal bowls to drink and bathe in!
Great idea, Mary Ellen!!!!
Fabulous idea Jean! I love the bowl...but wondering if it keeps out the field mice. I took down all our feeders because of the mice. Yvonne
I made them with old tea cups and saucers on a wooden pole. I like the copper pipe much better. The birds must feel special...Have a nice week. sandi
