Ferris Wheel Bird Feeder
Treat your bird visitors to a fun ride on this whacky and whimsical Ferris wheel bird feeder. The feeders are made from recycled glass are specifically designed for hummingbirds. Three birds can feed at once. And don’t worry, the wheel doesn’t actually spin, but if it did, that would be pretty funny! You’d probably just stare at the birds all day saying, “crazy birds don’t know how to ride that thang!”

Three Geese Weathervane
Weathervanes Plus is a fun website to visit not only for their great collection of copper weathervanes, but also for the creativity the owners put into the descriptions of the products. Here’s just a small sample: This flying geese weathervane includes three geese with unique personalities: Curly, Moe, and Larry. Moe is the Top Goose, knocking the other two on the head and back, because he’s kind of mean like that. The weather vane measures 42″L x 21″H x 30″D. It’s both huge and really cool looking, and that’s why it costs so much. I definitely appreciate that I can shop and be entertained at the same time! Great website!
