Bird Feeder as House?

This is a ceramic bird feeder that has been in my yard for 5 years. This is the first time any bird has attempted a nest. I think it is a house Wren who has been building fast and furious. I have never seen one like this before.

  1. Is this in actuality a Bird Feeder? Is this why you can see the nesting material?

  2. I guess this is what happens when we don't keep our feeders filled! Interesting. Marcia

  3. Yes, it is a bird feeder. I usually keep seed in it and the chickadees go in and get their seed. It had a branch screwed into it as a perch but, the squirrels have chewed it away.

  4. same thing happened with a birdfeeder at my mom's house -- her caregivers and I were so entertained by the little bird who was determined to get long twigs through a very narrow slot (and succeeded!)
