The Modern Garden Bird, especially if residing in the Home
Counties, prefers to feed from a good quality and well-appointed bird
table.
The days when “anything with
plenty of nuts on it” was satisfactory are long gone.
The Modern Bird now
demands Modern Standards.
Thus, a wonky
table, poorly constructed with a curling roof (as in the example below) not
only lacks the aesthetics demanded by the Modern Bird but is also frankly, unseaworthy.
The answer of course is to construct a Modern Stylish Bird
Table. Such tables, built from only the finest marine materials, will give your
Garden Birds years of pleasure unless of course something nasty befalls them in
the meantime.
Technical tip. If after construction, your new table looks
like this:
(Bad)
it will be good practice to turn it over, thus:
(Good)
An upside-down table is not only difficult to erect but may
also lead to disapproval, confusion, even
consternation amongst visiting feathered wildlife.
The Modern Bird will of course appreciate the style and design as well as the build quality of his or her new table. More and more garden birds prefer their table
to have something of an Austrian Tyrol look, being aware, as many now are, that good
snow-sheltering qualities add safety and comfort for the winter forager.
Fully erected, our new table has the added benefits of a
squirrel-proof stand and four-layer yacht varnish finish.
