I’ve got a lovely coconut (bird feeder)

I recently purchased this coconut bird feeder and hung it in our feijoa tree.  The waxeyes already love that tree for the lovely red flowers which must have delicious treats in them.  They have gone absolutely mad for this coconut though, at times there was four waxeyes perched around it.  A relatively cheap option, which came filled with a peanut and vegetable fat mixture the tiny birds seem to love.  It’s been very well pecked out already but so far no bigger birds have gone near it so hopefully it lasts a while.

Michelin starred bird feeder

I got this bird feeder a couple months ago and have had limited success enticing the birds onto it. I knew that the spot was a good one as all kinds of birds including waxeyes frequent the tree next to it. The best result I had was when half a loaf of bread got past its best by date and was put all in the one spot, then even the waxeyes stopped in to have a look at it. However yesterday I purchased a suet and birdseed ball from Fresh Meats at Barrington and now this bird restaurant is a hotspot with rave reviews. I captured this shot of a waxeye dining there but there were many others that came and dined too.
