I would like to buy my mum a bird table for her birthday. March is a special mouth her because she has Mother's Day and then a few days later it is her birthday. I am trying to decide what type of thing to get her. Her neighborhood has a few cats so I would like to make sure the wild birds are safe. I have seen metal wild bird feeding stations and traditional wooden bird tables for sale.

Have you got a bird table in your garden?
If so what it is like?
If not would you like to have a bird table?

I do not, but a few of our neighbors have some. Some of them have the regular Martin house, usually it is in three stories, and some have the regular bird feeding stations. Most of the time they are the regular wild bird feeding tables and we can also get them at Walmart along with those seed balls. Of course, we have very intelligent birds here in Winnipeg, plus an apple in our backyard, so we do not need one ourselves, but my best friend who moved to British Columbia had a metal bird feeder that she attached to a tree.

Well I do have a bird table on my back porch. I dont have to worry about cats because mine are both inside cats and there is only one other that roams the neighborhood and he usually avoids my yard because of my four dogs. Of course the dogs like to make the bird fly as well but they are all pretty tolerable of each other. If you have cats to worry about you might want to stick with the metal poll feader that will get the birds away from any danger.

I have a wooden one, but the cats can't climb it. Either they can't or they can't be bothered because the post is too narrow, probably. I do have a little squirrel visitor who gets up there for the nuts though. lol. It's like a little wooden house, I guess, open on all four sides, which even the crows have trouble getting into! The food goes inside the little house which stands on about a four foot pole, with a stand on the bottom, which is pegged into the lawn.

Brightest Blessings.

Hi Max...No I couldn't have a bird cage in my garden, the cats would have them in a shot. I adore birds, beautiful little things, but you've no pleasure with our cats, they think dinner. I have a budgie in the house and I have caught them laying over the cage, I have to watch them all the time. If you buy your dear mum a bird cage, you'll have to make sure its safe, because it will upset your mum if the cats kill the birds. Someone gave me a tip once...if you place an open umbrella upside down under the tree the cats can't get the birds

I have a birdbath in my garden - it's a bronze one on a pedestal in the middle of a circular, raised garden bed. It's lovely to look out of my office window and watch the birds splashing in the water and squabbling. We have two other water features, and the birds enjoy these, too. I'm hoping we have a good frog population this year as well.

No, I don't have a bird table. Most Americans have bird baths if they're going to have something, a place for them to drink. Now a bird table is interesting. Never contemplated that. We have a cat and now cats at our house and I try not to have birds around any more than they can just eat.

Of course I have I bird table in my garden,
right in front of the kitchen window, so I can
look on the little birds when I do the dishes...
