Quick Bar Perch for Bird Buddy Feeder

thingiverse

Bought a Bird Buddy (https://mybirdbuddy.com), set it up...and had no visitors. Realised most of the birds I saw around were quite small, so made this little bar quickly (took about 40 mins to print in draft mode) and now I'm getting tons of notifications of birds (and only one squirrel so far...) I printed this in purple PLA fully expecting it to melt in the sun because it was only meant to be a quick fix to see if this was why I wasn't getting any visitors but it's held up surprisingly well! That said, I will be reprinting my next version in something more UV friendly. (If you're interested in making your own design, they have a Facebook group and have uploaded their front plate STL file so you don't have to faff about with taking measurements yourself!)
