Weather Vane Feeding Table 



This weather vane feeding table on a post set into the 

 ground, always swings with the wind, so that the food is pro- 

 tected from rain and snow. A glass- window lights the in- 

 terior, thereby overcoming the timidity of the wildest birds. 



This style of feeding table affords protection from the 

 wind, often being used as a night roost. All the species men- 

 tioned above will visit this table. 



Besides the suet and grain listed before, add crushed dog- 

 biscuit, meat scraps, doughnuts, bread crumbs, and any kind 

 of broken nuts. Grit may be furnished, as birds often find it 

 impossible to get sufficient for their needs when the ground 

 is deep with snow. 



This type of feeding device is particularly adapted to sit- 

 uations far removed from dwellings. They can be made 

 larger than the dimensions given, so that when once supplied 

 with food will need no further attention for several weeks. 



If placed near one's house, they afford much entertain- 

 ment for both adults and children. 



Dried elderberries, bay berries and other wild fruits are 

 eagerly sought by the birds. 



Having once played host to the winter birds, and had 

 them return again and again for the dainties of the feeding- 

 table, it is safe to assume that you will want them to come 

 still closer to your window. 



Suspended Lunch Counter. 



The suspended lunch counter is the medium to use in 

 overcoming their natural timidity. From a nearby tree 

 stretch a heavy wire (size No. 8 is furnished with the car) to 

 the sill of a second story window, one facing south preferred. 

 The car, supplied with food, is allowed to touch the tree. 

 Once the birds have discovered this new feeding place, it 

 should be drawn nearer each day, until the birds fiy fearlessly 

 to the window shelf. 



Cutting down the variety of food on the stationary feed- 

 ing devices will increase your bird patrons at the suspended 

 lunch counter.
