Default Looking for Birdtable plans

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

Thanks for the link, I'll go over and check it out :-)

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

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!!

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

THAT'S what I'm talkin' about! G

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.

We have at least two resident bobcats up here in boonyville. See
http://green-valley-lake.com/index.htm for a photo. Yeah, yeah, and we
have several of the motorized kind too. (see
http://www.bobcat.com/index.html).

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

Man, were those geese territorial!
