      Thank you! They make fun and wonderful gifts for family and friends. To make the teapot a feeder juts out duct tape inside over the spout opening :) Have a most wonderful day!

      The cups are for birdfeed. If you put duct tape inside the teapot to cover the spout you can put feed in the teapot as well. This project is best used on a covered porch. Have a wonderful day. Merry Christmas! :)

      Yes, and you can actually put a false front to fit any bird. Most people use them inside for kitchen decor :)

    Curious if they are actually used by some as bird houses and if so, do the ones with bird figurines dissuade birds from making a home there?

      This is mainly used for a feeder on a porch. But you can put a disk of wood with a small hole drilled through for small birds.

      LOL :) They actually do. New owners will often put a disk of wood with the appropriate hole cut for smaller birds. Mostly though, they are used for decorative feeders for front porches or deco in a kitchen or dining room where owners keep their teacups. I have been making them for 11 years now.
