I replaced a rusting bird feeder the other day with a really sweet one that I found on Etsy.

This bright yellow feeder is the design of Bill over at Old Barn Identity.  Bill calls this the "Ultimate Bird Feeder" because the design is not only wind proof but it only allows the birds to get a beak full of seed at a time so very little of it gets dropped and wasted.

You can see the birds have taken to it already.  Bill says the little song birds especially like his feeders because they can scoot right through the tubes and escape from those annoying bully birds (that would be you grackles).

I am extremely pleased with this feeder and I recommend it to all you bird lovers out there too.
