Pat's Old Feeder

Bird feeders improve their atmospheric contribution the longer they're out in the sun and the rain. This feeder belongs to my Mother-in-law and sits in the northwest corner of her/their back yard. The rust at the bottom, on the upright supports, and at the top add to the overall worth of this particular feeder, in my opinion.
With that in mind, the next time you're in the market for a bird feeder, look for a used one. You'll pay pennies on the dollar and it won't take 4 or 5 years for it to reach it's peak. Bird feeders: older is better. Regarding my Mother-in-law's backyard...I'll keep you posted.
