Description
This hanging glass bird feeder pairs a painted robin with sprays of pink flowers and green leaves, all set into a shallow round dish of clear glass. The robin sits at the centre in warm orange, black and brown, perched among branches that curl towards the rim, while the clear glass between the painted areas lets the light through so the colours glow on a bright day. The dish measures 23cm across, a generous size for a scattering of seed that still takes up little room. Three black chains rise from the rim to meet a single hook, so the dish hangs level and ready to fill.
Hang it from a sturdy branch, a bracket on a fence or a hook by the back door; we like it best somewhere you can watch from a window. Because it is an open dish rather than a tube, birds can perch on the rim and feed from the shallow bowl, and you can see at a glance when it needs topping up. The painted robin and blossom give you something cheerful to look at even on quiet days, and the round shape suits a cottage garden as happily as a small courtyard.
The design is painted onto the glass and stands slightly proud of the surface, so the leaves and petals catch the light from every angle. Keeping it clean is simple: as with any feeder, clear out old seed regularly and wash the dish in warm soapy water with a soft cloth, rinsing well and letting it dry before you refill it. Skip abrasive pads, which could scratch the painted design, and lift it down with the care any glass piece deserves. For the best effect, hang it where the morning sun can shine through, or wrap it with a bag of seed for a present that is used from the very first day.
