Sally--you must remember when i got this, all metal, Finch feeder at Big Lots
end of the season on clearance---$20 was the 5% off price.
Really a good quality feeder. You pull out the rod (pic 2) aand all the feeding
stations cope apart for easy cleaning.
Now--if only some Gold Finches would eat at it....other birds try....

I have a lg. brown saucer (16") that sits out in the winter for water.
It also sits, in the same place, all summer as I only have 2 concrete BB's
but need this 3rd one by the shed.

Yes--it is all frozen over...but could the birds not eat snow?
Get their water that way?
Do they bathe in this kind of weather? Water would freeze--right on them....
