unusual bird feeder

[Shearno]

Following on from ‘Willing to learns’ natural log feeding station. I searched the internet looking for other natural bird feeders and discovered this Whale bone feeder/birdbath. I think it’s fantastic; apparently it was washed up on a beech, wish I could find one beech coming.
Any other WAB members have unusual or natural bird feeders?

Mine are all pretty boring and bog standard, but seem to work very well.
Love that shot of the starlings, look like they're about to join wings and have a séance

[Ruth Daniel]

Thats a very unusual and inventive feeder Shearno and the birds do seem to like it don't they!
I'm afraid mine are all the usual types of feeders tho we sometimes fill half a coconut (once the birds have eaten the nut) with a fat/seed mixture that seems to go down well.

I saw a similar type feeder to this in a camp in the Masai Mara + only crumbs, etc where placed on it, but was a magnet to a good variety of birds.

How about a big cross section of tree trunk.
My father in law uses bird bath as feeder and a big cake of corn/wheat seeds for pheasants and duck too

Love it Shearno.

Bird baths make excellent open feeders in dry weather.
