Decorative Bird Feeders for the Artist in You

For some folks their backyards are a part of their home that they take a great deal of pride in. They may paint the surrounding fencing in a way that the garden is an expression of the creative person in them. The plants they choose will reflect this as will the garden furniture and even the type of bird feeders they pick.

A lot of people buy decorative bird feeders that add color and character to their gardens while still being a functional part of garden decor. The assortment of decorative bird feeder styles that can be put in your backyard will appeal to any ones taste. They can be small feeders that sit nicely in a little backyard or on a patio or large ones that better suit a big yard to show them off.

Interestingly some people even collect decorative bird feeders as works of art. Some feeders will be of Asian influence while others might be like small scale country houses. This decorative expression can found in many types of bird feeders. For example, a tube feeder in your backyard to attract smaller birds.

Maybe the tube feeder will have an intricately designed cage surrounding it. Or maybe the decorative bird feeders you will choose are hand blown glass created to resemble flowers to attract hummingbirds.

Decorative Bird Feeders for Any Budget

Decorative bird feeders can be found for any budget. Something simple like a lantern or teahouse style feeder may cost less than twenty dollars. But if it is an elaborate feeder you are looking for, maybe one designed like a cottage or a gazebo, you can expect to pay over a hundred dollars.

Decorative Bird Feeders with Style

Decorative bird feeders can look like small houses, fishing equipment, giant mushrooms, the local post office or a gilded cage. If you find what like but the colors do not fit your garden, buy it anyway and repaint it with non toxic paints to suit your tastes. This makes a great project for that artist in you. The birds do not really care what shape or color the bird feeder is, this is for your own pleasure to reflect your personality.

There is no end to shapes, styles and colors decorative bird feeders come in. With just a little bit of searching you can find the perfect decorative bird feeder for you and your backyard or garden. One that reflects your personality and that is sure to attract lots of birds.

Pileated Woodpecker in Action

This is some fantastic footage of aPileated Woodpecker excavating a nesting cavity we found on youtube and thought we would share here for those who have not seen it

The Pileated Woodpecker depends on the existence of large dead trees, or snags, in the forest for their nesting, feeding and roosting sites. Not only are these dead trees essential to the Pileated Woodpecker, but their abandoned nests become the future nests for other woodland species like squirrels, wood ducks, and other birds and animals.

Once these large dead trees fall to the ground, they continue to provide habitat for many other species, such as insects, toads, and salamanders. The downed, decaying wood is the future soil of the forest. Without this decaying woody matter, many of the nutrients and fungal components of the forest floor would not develop sufficiently to maintain healthy forest conditions.

A healthy forest is a system of finely tuned relationships between the soil, plants and animals. The successful nesting of the woodpeckers is an annual reminder of one such functioning relationship.

Hope you enoy the video!

We will post an article in the near future on choosing a decorative bird feeder that would be good for attracting woodpeckers to your backyard.
