Bird Feeder – Hanging Flower-Shaped Dish for Seed or Water Outdoors

Bird Feeder – A Shallow Dish That Doubles as a Bath When the Weather Turns

A shallow open basin shaped like a bloom, hung from three cords that meet at a single point. Fill it with seed and it is a feeder; fill it with water and it is a bath. The scalloped rim gives visiting birds somewhere to stand while they use it.

Why choose a hanging bird feeder?

A garden can fill up quickly with mismatched feeding stations on poles and brackets. Hanging the dish keeps it off the ground, away from crawling insects, and out of the way of the mower. It also lets you move it to wherever you actually watch from.

• Feeder or bath — the same dish takes seed in winter and water in summer.
• Three-point suspension — the cords converge so the bowl hangs level from a branch or bracket.
• Scalloped rim — a textured edge that gives birds a stable place to perch.
• Flower-shaped basin — a patterned dish that reads as garden decor from the path.
• Hand washable — rinse it out between fills and rehang it wet.

Hang it where you can see it from the kitchen window and wait.

Suspend it from a branch, a shepherd's hook or a wall bracket, high enough to be out of reach and low enough to refill without a ladder. Keep it topped up in the same spot; birds learn a location faster than they learn a feeder. Empty and rinse the basin regularly, especially in warm weather when it holds water.
