Gardens are meant to be beautiful places where you can find peace. You can always make your garden an even lovelier place by choosing your garden ornaments carefully. One excellent thing that can make your garden very special would be a decorative bird feeder, to which you can add your touches to make it truly yours.
A decorative bird feeder, specifically one that is built like a house, can be designed to resemble the homeowner's actual house. Using miniature shutters, windows and various paint colors, a basic house bird feeder can quickly be transformed into a unique decorative bird feeder.
Once you have decided to put up a decorative bird feeder, you have to put some thought into where you want to place it in your garden. A fairly common and reliable option is to put it up on a pole. But when you do, you have to find out how tall the pole has to be - if you think there might be squirrels or raccoons in or around your garden, you have to make sure that you don't place your decorative bird feeder low enough for them to destroy it or close to any tree from which they can jump onto it.
If you can be sure that animals like squirrels and raccoons are not likely to damage your decorative bird feeder, you will have plenty of other options, as far as where you want to place them is concerned. You can just place it somewhere where it will look nice, like perhaps the gazebo, or even something as simple as a window sill. You can also hang it from places, maybe on your patio or from a tree that looks right for it. No matter what you do, the birds in your neighborhood are sure to love it as much as you do.
If you have very ambitious plans regarding your decorative bird feeder, you could take a chance and build it yourself, as it might be difficult to find exactly what you want in the stores. There are lots of books and magazines that you can refer to for ideas - plenty of material dedicated to gardening will have many pictures of different kinds of bird feeders. If that is too much for you, there are plenty of shops, both online and in your neighborhood, where you can find different kinds of decorative bird feeders. - 15266
