    I recently realized that I have no bird feeders for the backyard. Well there is one large one but several volunteer shrubs have grown around it and keep it hidden and difficult to get to. So I have started collecting feeders. Now that the neighborhood is 9 cats lighter, I have dozens more birds hanging around and they are all hungry.

    This one I ordered from a catalog, his antlers hold the seeds.

    These two I found at Dollar General...

    And this cutie, which is not a feeder, is in the new bed out front to cheer the place up.

    Undoubtedly the bird population appreciates the reduction of the feline menace. The antlers make a great holder for just about any variety of bird food. Any squirrels? We know you have opossum. I wonder if opossum eat from feeders? I like the garden greeter. Did he work at Wal-Mart?

    They're very pretty. I hope the birds will appreciate both the food and the design. :D
