Looking for Birdtable plans

Jan 03, 2006 18 Replies

Hi,



Can anyone point me to a good site for Birdtable plans?



I'm trying to find simple projects for a youth group to attempt to raise funds.



Thanks in advance



Kev


I'm not sure what a bird table is, but check out this web page for plans:

A bird table is basically a feeding table for birds, usually with some form a decorative roof to allow the food to keep dry in the rain, don't know if they are called something different outside of the UK.

Thanks again Kev

Also known as a squirrel feeder.

Yah. Great perch for those shotgun targets. Trouble is, my wife has gotten fond of what seems to be a pair that we have. Little bums eat more birdseed than a triple flock of birds.

Just this morning two squirrels carried off the better part of 30 pounds of pecans out of a feed sack sitting on the back porch, with the damn cat watching.

Maybe the cat and the squirrel are in cahoots!!

Yahbut, what's in it for the cat?

C;mon Charlie, be nice. That's not sporting at all. Use a .22. Heh heh. You don't have to worry about biting a pellet that way.

Smart cats only watch squirrels. A squirrel will kick the crap out of them.

Must be sissy cats then.

THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!

I've known some that could kick some serious ass. Squirrels would be simple warm-ups!

Biggest cat I ever saw was one I shot while out hunting one day.

Obviously a house cat gone wild that had survived.

Best guess was it weighed about 30-35 lbs.

BTW, no self respecting cat on the planet will take on a goose, especially one with a brood of goslings.

Cat hell, no self respecting farm boy will take on a brooding goose ... twice.

We have at least two resident bobcats up here in boonyville. See

I used to have neighbors that used them as watchdogs. Really fast watchdogs that could fly.

Man, were those geese territorial!
