Kettle Bird Feeders

[EricV.]

There back again this year at Ace Hardware, with 3 new color, cream/light yellow, red & glen blue:

If you recall last years colors were black, green & blue:

I snagged a red one today to go along with my black one, the birds love these!

Dang, for $42 you can probably buy a Smokey Joe.

Last year, they were on sale for $25 in May. No such luck this year, that was a spendy day.

Bought all three last year, and all three this year

But I don't need a SJ. It's all good, I wanted a red one & although they weren't offered last year, sometimes your wishes come true, regardless of the price.

That's what I paid last year as well, but I recall it was closer to Memorial Day.

Strange they went with four legs instead on three.

The sale? It may have been advertised as Memorial Day, I don’t recall, but the sale started May 1. I only remember because the local manager, after asking him about the bird feeders and him telling me he didn’t order any because he didn’t think anyone would want them, told me to hold on, went and pulled up the next sales flyer, and said if I waited to pick them up they would go on sale.

That was middle of April so I went and picked them up! Haha

My local Ace manager gave me the sale price early when I came back last year and bought a second one. I do love the Glen Blue color. Brian O'Neil who sells gorgeous kettle handles and some other stuff on FB and on eBay as "Executor70" has made custom variants including the "meat cut," the "Westerner" and even my favorite the "avocado." His custom ones fetch around $90. And, yeah @Bruce, you can get a decent used FULL-SIZE kettle for that! I am a collector-type, but I am content with my black and blue versions. I actually have one in reserve that if I ever have time, I might try to paint myself as an avocado or maybe Glen Blue.

@Jon Tofte Ugh, why did you mention Avocado!? Now my mind is revolving around making a mini Sequoia ‘cado to match my full-size!
