A Higher Purpose



We  recently found a cool looking old pot lid at the thrift shop.

It looked like it had some interesting history, as well as a really pretty patina from its previous life.

We decided to rescue it and turn it into a bird feeder.

Three evenly spaced holes were drilled around the edge.

A black chain was used to complement the dark patina.

We used a split ring to join the 3 chains at the top.

Here's the finished feeder, with safflower seed in it.




This is another pot lid feeder we made, using 3 different-sized lids (shown below). Since these lids are a silvery aluminum color, we used silver chain to match. The largest lid is at the top, so any bird poop from perching birds won't land in the lower levels.
