According to family lore, when I was young my grandmother once asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.

 

“I want to be a bird on a wire,” I told her, deadpan.  

 

I’m not sure why I said this (I certainly wasn’t listening to a lot of Leonard Cohen at the time) but things have obviously turned out a bit differently.  

 

If my bird on a wire dreams had ever come to fruition, you'd probably find my wire in close proximity to the unique bird feeders featured below. During the spring and summer months, these home accessories that are part garden décor/part avian buffet become pretty ubiquitous. By hanging the below seed dispensaries you’ll ensure that you stand out from the flock.
