This new design measures about 18” X 12” X 8”. It was built using the smallest of the cut-off steel pieces inevitably left over from various other work. I wanted to figure out a process for using these that I could repeat on a regular basis. Laying flat the various sized squares and rectangles for each of the sides before welding them reminded me of a crossword puzzle... thus the name for the series "Birdle". I'll definitely be making more of this series as the opportunity arises.

The upright support is welded to an "I-beam" shaped base which has been uniquely designed to allow the piece to stand securely upright when "planted" into the ground approximately 8 -10 inches deep.

The 'feeder' portion consists of a perforated aluminum steel screen designed to hold bird seed a safe distance off the ground. Shielded to a degree from rain, wind, and sun - the screen allows for rapid drainage of any water, and will never rust through.
