Marilyn,

Deb's a little under the weather and will be for a few days so she had me reply to your question regarding the bird feeder. It was given to us by a neighbor this past summer, it had been given to him by someone else as a gift. That's what got us started on this adventure. It's a home made feeder and I added the bamboo plant supports which we bought at Home Depot. The birds were reluctant to come to the feeder at first because they had such a small landing zone. After the sticks were added they came readily, land on the perches and hop inside the feeder. We're learning and sure having fun at the same time.
