Description
This is a red-breasted nuthatch that comes to our feeder at Watershed Farm. I even had him land on my hand once. The nuthatch thought he was landing on the hand of the Birdman which I made for Watershed Farm.
The Bird Man Feeder was built out of 4 inch sewer pipe, the head unscrewed and seed was poured in to fill the arms right down to the carved wooden hands. It held about 30 pounds of seed. The Bird Man swiveled with the wind so that the birds could land into the wind as they prefer to do. We had had all kinds of birds visit the Bird Man! If you dress in the same colour of coat and stand beside the Bird Man, the birds will land all over you and feed from you hand. I have even had a woodpecker feed from my hand.
The Bird Man was on duty 24/7 and in all kinds of weather like every keen meteorologist. The Bird Man even fed his friends during freezing rain storms as pictured to the right with a chickadee in each hand. St Francis would be impressed. The title was selected because if I hung upside down all of the time, I would be red in the face. This perky and clever little bird is only red in the breast!
