Default OT- Finch feeders

I haven't been doing much quilting lately, only at my guild
meetings. At home I just made some cloth tubes to hold
thistle seed. I have been buying them but something is
tearing them open and spilling the seed out so buying them
got too expensive.


The birds will also tear those bags (store bought or homemade) open or to
shreds after only being up a short time. You're better off buying a thistle
feeder and then fill it from a bag of seed.

That link will show you examples of what I'm talking about.

If the feeder completely disappears it's most likely a raccoon, bear or
squirrel, depending on what kind of wildlife you have roaming around. Your
only alternatives to that problem are to hang them where they can't be
reached, bring them in before nightfall and put them back in the morning or
take them down altogether.
