My dad and I made a really cool feeder Saturday. Here are a few pics of it.

I dont mind if anyone wants to copy it. I will gladly let you know the price and materials along with instructions.

Let me know if you have any ?'s.

Looks good! How do you keep the feed flowing to the middle areas of the trough away from the supply lines?

WOW

I think you and dad did great!!!

Well i thought it wouldnt flow very well but it does. When we first added feed, it didnt go all the way to the middle but after i moved it with my finger, it has been staying full ever since. I think it is because of the slick inside of the gutter. WEll it is slick since water has to flow over it lol

thats a pretty sharp idea. And I guess you could make one up to 8' to 10' long also if needed, depending on the length of downspout you can get.

I imagine you could also make it longer by joining 2 pieces as well, but then the feed may not slide over the connector as well in that spot either.

What size holes did you drill for the feed circles?
