Square Hanging Bird Feeder and Bath

This square tray is made of light plastic with a terracotta look, and it hangs level from four metal chains that meet at a single hook. The shallow, open shape lets birds perch on the rim to pick at seeds, drink, or splash about, so you can use it as a feeder or as a bird bath, whichever your visitors need more. Most homes start with seed, and switch to water when the summer heat arrives; if you use it for water, change it daily so it stays clean. Sparrows, munias, bulbuls and mynas all come to open trays like this. Hang it from a balcony ceiling, a window grill or a tree branch, and lift it off the hook whenever it needs a rinse and refill.
