And here's a closeup of the seed feeder. It was pricey, somewhere between $120 & $150, but I loved its looks. Not knowing anything about birds, I got lucky: Not only does it provide a protective cage for the small 'uns, it is nearly squirrel proof. This spring, an enterprising baby would get in there & chow down, but he quickly got so fat that he couldn't fit through the cage. One morning he could, one morning he couldn't! So he gnawed on the metal for awhile but got nowhere.

I don't mind the squirrels like most people do but my dog probably keeps them in line.

Occasionally, this seed feeder gets water in & I have to clean out the seeds, and I've repainted parts to stop rust, but in retrospect it was a great investment.
