How To Use Platform Bird Feeders
Amongst the many types of bird feeders that you can choose the most common, and easiest to make, are the platform bird feeders. This type of feeder has a flat tray like base with short sides that are only tall enough to keep the bird food from falling out. It should also have a roof to it to keep the food dry in case of rain or snow. It also needs to have some holes for drainage in case it does get wet. You do not want puddles to appear in the seed you are feeding to the birds. One way to avoid this is to use a wire screen bottom instead of having to put holes in a wooden or metal base. This takes care of any water problem.
The Magnet Effect
Have you ever shopped at a flea market? Thousands and thousands of objects, items, whatnots, tools, clothing, and auto parts. Visitors can spend hours, even days, roaming, looking and handling the items for sale.
People who visit flea markets usually arrive with a $20 bill and leave with a prized object they add to their collection, home, or garage.
Flea Markets are a good example of what on-line Internet stock photo shopping has become.
The flea markets are growing. And unlike a 65,000 square foot Wal-Mart where merchandise is segmented by signs (“Household”, “Auto”, “Toys”), flea markets are an ocean of unregulated bits and pieces.
