Bird feeder

thingiverse

We had some birds visiting on our balcony, searching for a snack. While a plate was okay for those birds, they made a mess all around it, so I created a feeder. It's able to be hung from the top but we ended up just placing it on a coffee table. Those little visitors made clear they had a liking for peanuts by throwing sunflower seeds all over the place. There are a bunch of sunflowers sprouting now, thanks to the birds. The "refill" of the bottom plate works perfectly. You fill it up to the start of the threads, and it keeps flowing while your guests feast. Don't overfill it or you'll compress it so much it won't be able to exit the bottom. I did once and it took a massive jay to clear it.
