No. 8 Wire Tui Feeder
The Original No. 8 Wire Tui/Bellbird Feeder

Proudly designed, made and tested in Mapua. The No. 8 Wire Tui Feeder is a lovely way to encourage Tui's and other nectar birds such as bell birds into your garden.

Made from wire and recycled soft drink bottles, these feeders come with a sturdy hook to hang them from branches, posts or even your clothesline.

Fill the bottle with a mixture of 1 part sugar and 3 parts water, put you finger over the hole, turn upside down and place in the wire holder.

The dish forms an airlock that releases the liquid as the birds drink it down.                 

Code OT-015                                  $29.50
Fancy Tea Cup Bird Feeders 

Spare a thought for the birds over winter.

These lovely old china tea cups are far too beautiful to sit in china cabinets and recyling centers.   We give them a new lease of life by fitting them securely on long no-rust, no-rot, cat-proof, aluminium stakes so they can sit securely in the garden amongst the flowers.

Each bird feeder comes with a bag of bird seed to start you off but you can fill it with whatever you want, bread scraps or sugar and water for the tui's.

Put it somewhere that you can see it from your window and enjoy watching the birds tea party.   

They come apart for travel if you're worried about how we might post you one securely!  We only use old fancy china and if you have a preference for colour or pattern, let us know.

Freight costs are $10.50 South Island and $15.50 North Island.

Code OT001                                     $38.50
 

 

Apple House Bird Feeders

Birds in the garden are lovely at any time of year but to keep them around make sure they have plenty of food over the winter months.

The apple is secured with a metal pin fashioned from oven racks and the house has a wooden perch on each side to give the birds somewhere to sit while they eat their apple.

Made from recycled Rimu from single bed frame.
