Description

This bird feeder allows you to put out oranges (and other citrus) for the birds in your yard. I was skeptical at first but within about 12 hours, we had a bunch of different visitors (see photo), and we were going through 2 oranges a day (per feeder). “If you build it, they will come!” 

 

This is a work-in-progress, so let me know if you've got any helpful tips or feedback to improve the design. As such, I've already added an additional print profile for a one-piece hanger, in case the original two-part hanger gives you issues.

 

For best results, I HIGHLY recommend that you add a couple small slits to make it easier to slide the fruit onto the stakes. Without the slits, there's a decent chance that you could break the feeder (ask me how I know). I assure you these are oranges in the video; I'm not sure why the colors are so washed out!
