So, would you offer a opinion?
I have a new little something I tired to make, and I was looking for
opinions on how it turned out. And since I know this group has LOADS
of opinions , and won't just be nice, please tell me what you think.
A couple of things you need to know¦
1) Its supposed to be a bird feeder.
2) Its not done, I have to figure out a hanger.
3) It didn't come with a lid, so I have to figure that out too.
I hung it out as a test to see if the birds liked it, and it was covered in
Goldfinches in no time, so I feel pretty good about that part.

You're brilliant, Michelle, great use of unwanted/unused objects.
How about a round plastic margarine tub lid to put on the top - of course that'll mean taking the dimensions and go buy some margarine that fits the need !!!!
Hanger shouldn't be a problem - some strong wire around the neck of the coffee pot, extended into a hanger - sorted!
Goldfinches - fab!
US and european gold finches are not the same,both are carduelis but US is tristis european carduelis . Means Linneaus saw european first like fox =vulpes vulpes , badger = meles meles ,and the poor little wren = troglodytes troglodytes . Feeder looks good Jean wants a coffee pot like that but unpuntured

Thanks everybody!
My thinking is I'm going to try to make some up and sell for Christmas. I have been looking at second hand stores, finding old coffee pots & tea pots to turn into feeders.
I tried the one you saw first since I paid the least for it.
I learned lots doing that one!
Seth, if I had only known, I paid $2 for that pot! Well, the shipping would have knocked out all of the savings....
I do have to admit, I took the idea, but the picture I saw didn't give any instructions, so I figure its fair game. If anyone would like instructions, I'd be happy to walk you through what I did.
Aren't the Goldfinches pretty? I have feeders out all year long, and have a flock that look to me now, since they usually migrate. They will stay if you feed them and they know they can count on you. Big responsibility!
