Haddonstone recommend positioning your bird table in your garden where a bird can easily see a predator such as a cat and also near to trees where a bird can survey the area before landing to feed from the bird table.. A bird table does not need to be fancy or complicated - the birds are only interested in a good supply of food in a safe, sheltered place. build your bird table use wood that will not split or disintegrate when wet - exterior quality plywood from a sustainable source, 0.5cm - 1 cm thick, is ideal.. Each of the bird tables shown here is unique and made mainly from reclaimed materials. they do function as bird tables but are also intended as sculptures in their own right as a focal point within a garden..
Bird table material food and feeders. thanks ruff, i think i'll be happy with 5 years of life which shouldn't be asking to much of the plywood, anything more will be a bonus.. Bird tables our range of bird tables includes tall and low free standing tables as well as a wall mounted version. you can choose the table that best suits your garden and the height that maximises your opportunity to view the birds with ease.. The important thing about any bird table is to keep the seed as dry as possible and try to keep it on the table so as not to attract rats or mice to the table. so i’d recomend building a roof into your design and add a lip around edge of the table to stop any food falling onto the floor..
