[QUOTE="Sean Regan, post: 217232, member: 5841"] I made this bird feedera while back, out of bits I found in the garage. It's on a post of the pergola on the back of the house. It's where my wife can see it from her chair in the lounge. The purpose was to have something that the birds and the squirrels could access but not the wood pigeons. It was frequently used by an assortment of smaller birds. It worked well but was a pain to clean as I had to unscrew it from the post. It was due a clean here. [ATTACH type="full" alt="P1040345.JPG"]85670[/ATTACH] Yesterday, my wife was chucking out some old pans, as I'd bought her several new ones, two of these were the same (don't ask), they came with a stainless steel basket that clipped on to the side of the pan, so that you could fry chips in it. So one basket was superfluous and she was chucking it out. I decided with a bit of "fettling" it would make a better bird feeder. The clip at the back of the basket slides into the rebate I put in the bit of wood behind it. But the front was "floppy" as in the pan there are wire feet it sits on. Not to be defeated I changed the bit of bamboo cane at the front that keeps the pigeons out for a bit of an old hardwood picture frame I'd hung on to. I needed to find something to support the front lip of the basket and found a bracket amongst all the stuff I hang on to in the garage "just in case." Now to remove the basket I just need to undo the wingnut on the front a bit and the basket will lift out.

But "Sid" and "Sybil" our pair of squirrels were rather suspicious at first, perhaps they thought that if they went in it they'd become part of a, "fry up." [/QUOTE]
