Birdies breakfast - silver bird feeder necklace

I made another bird feeder necklace a while ago. I like making them - and this is my third of this design. One of them only had two birds on it - maybe that seed wasn't as tasty! It's a fun challenge making the birds so small and individual and having them all sitting in a slightly different position.

I just sold this one to the lovely Gail.

The original inspiration for the design came from having breakfast at my parents home and watching all the birds have their breakfast too on the feeder. My parents spoil their garden birds! Here at Birdland, we keep ours tough! They have flowers and fruit trees and grapes here but no feeders!

But I rarely make things more than three times so maybe I need to come up with a new birdfeeder idea....it's a nice subject matter... I do have my glass one with the seeds in.....but I'll be thinking on it....watch this space.......

Feed the Birds

Remember the song from Mary Poppins:

Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag......
All around the cathedral the saints and apostles
Look down as she sells her wares.
Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling
Each time someone shows that he cares.
Though her words are simple and few,
Listen, listen, she's calling to you:
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag."

I remember trying to sing it when I was a little girl - but it was so low - my voice couldn't reach all those low notes...... I always used to love that song though -especially when we'd go out somewhere and see all the birds sitting around waiting for food......

And now my latest necklace gives you a chance to always feed the birds!


It shows two little hand-crafted birds on a birdfeeder....and inside the birdfeeder is real birdseed! Following on from the birdies breakfast necklace - this one takes it a step further with the actual seed inside the glass feeder!


And the extra benefit is that if you are ever out and about and you come across some birds who are hungry and wanting for food - with this necklace, you can burst into song, unscrew the top and you have an emergency supply of bird seed to sprinkle in your hand for them to feed on!

A "feed the birds" necklace that really lets you feed the birds.


Hope you like it and it makes you sing the song (if your voice is low enough!).
