Bird Accessories

You've heard the expression a hundred times...

"It's the little things that matter."

Knowing where to find the right widget to hold up that bird feeder or the "collar" to keep the squirrels from climbing up your feeder pole is the real challenge. At For the Birds, providing the right answers is our business. If it also means a sale, so be it. Bring us your problems and let us see what we can do for you.

Herewith, some of the answers you've been looking for.

Pole Vault

Short poles, long poles, garden poles, feeder poles...shepherd hooks, branch hooks, extension hooks, ceiling hooks...curved brackets, straight brackets, clamp-on brackets, adjustable brackets...we've got 'em all. Each is made of the sturdiest 5/8" rod or 16 gauge tubular steel that is powder-coat painted for maximum durability. If you're hung up on how to hang or mount a feeder or birdhouse, we'll hook you up with the right solution.

We've got the best selection of feeder poles, brackets and shepherd hook garden poles around. Come in and check us out.

Double Duty

This heavy-duty, double shepherd hook garden pole accommodates longer and heavier tube feeders, as shown. It's easy to install and is ultra-sturdy because it has a heavy-duty spade anchor for added stability in all directions. However, even a skinny 5/8"pole like this one will require a baffle to deter squirrels from getting at the seed.

Yes, you can easily get this pole into your car because the hooks are removable.

Our Squirrel-proof Guarantee

Used properly, our squirrel baffles are 100% guaranteed. Place the baffle 4 1/2' above the ground so that squirrels can't jump around them and 10' to 12' from anything they can jump from,like lawn furniture, trees, roof or fence. Our 1" tubular poles fit snugly into our twist-in ground sockets making installation a breeze.

If any squirrel defeats one of our pole-mounted baffles, we'll give you your money back.

We have all kinds of baffles for every type of feeder, including these conical squirrel baffles from ERVA Tool and Manufacturing Co., Inc.

Thwarting Defeat The most oft'-uttered lament at our store is this: "Oh, you can't defeat the squirrels. They're too clever!" Wrong! At For the Birds we have a baffle for most every situation. There are wrap-around baffles, cylindrical baffles, hanging baffles, and baffles for 4x4 posts. This furry beast is in for a tumble from this squirrel-proof Mandarin baffle.

	Garden Variety
	All of our garden products are designed to be decorative yet functional.
	We may not be a garden store, but we have a gaggle of poles, brackets and branch hooks for hanging plants, windchimes, hummingbird feeders and bird houses. These sturdy hangers are made of 5/8" rolled steel rod and poly-coat painted in attractive hunter green for maximum weather resistance.

			Large Stuff Larger wooden platform feeders are more attractively displayed and are better supported by a 4X4 cedar post. "Do I have to dig a big hole?", you ask. Not with our amazing 20" 4x4 twist-in ground socket. This auger-style post-holder will keep even the heaviest bird feeders steady. (We installed one at our own house and it's been in the ground for 5 years!) Note the 4x4 cone-shaped copper baffle on the post. It's handsome and it really works! Attaching large feeders to a cedar post is simple with the easily installed metal flange shown below.

Easy In Putting up a bird feeder is a snap with our twist-in or drive-in ground sockets that accommodate our 1" steel feeder poles or 4x4 cedar posts. Our sturdy screw-in ground socket can be easily removed and relocated. The drive-in ground socket works well in rocky soil.

Brusha, brusha Keeping feeders clean should be an essential part of your bird feeding regime. Moldy seed is harmful to birds and so they will not eat it. Soak feeders in warm soapy water. Add a touch of bleach if necessary. One of these long-handled feeder brushes does wonders at getting seed-gark out of tight corners.

Fountain Service Turn a 2-liter plastic soda bottle into a wild bird feeder with this rugged cast zinc adaptor. Just punch holes in the bottom of the bottle for the wire hanger, fill with black oil sunflower seeds and screw the adapter on to the bottle neck. Voila! An instant recyclable feeder. Let's help pass on a safer, cleaner planet to future generations.

Filler Up These wide mouth funnels are perfect for filling large bird feeders. The smaller green funnel fits snugly over a gallon milk bottle jug for easy storing or pouring. The large red funnel works great for draining motor oil, too!

	Can It Why store your bird seed in a grungy old bag when you can keep it handy in one of these handsome cans. The larger ones are galvanized and guaranteed not to rust. The smaller ones come with handles and tight fitting lids and can be stored on a breezeway or porch.		There are several designs available including this state birds design and "The American Farm" by renowned artist, Warren Kimble.
