In every issue of Birds & Blooms, you’re pretty much guaranteed to find a photo with a bird feeder in it. Nobody was really shocked to see one pictured on page 66 of our April/May 2013 issue, right? But what was surprising was how much everyone seems to love it! Emails are still flooding in asking “Where did you find that feeder?” That can be a surprisingly difficult question to answer, and our small staff has an even smaller time budget. Fortunately, we had a bit of luck.
Copper Oriole Feeder available online through Duncraft.com.
Our absolutely fabs art director, Sharon, happened to know this photographer well enough to contact him on the spot, and he, Richard Day, happened to be able to tell her the origin of this feeder, which was purchased from Duncraft (see it here at Duncraft.com.) Things never happen this smoothly, so take this as a sign: If you’re one of the people who contacted us for more information about this feeder, it might be meant for you to buy one.
Happy Birding!

Great feeder! I was wondering where it came from to. I make my own but this one is cleverly designed!
Foster and Smith has this feeder. I bought one several years ago with merchandise money I had won from a photography contest they were running
My husband made the orange Oriole feeder out of wood. Measured one of the little cups I had for the grape jelly, and it turned out so cute. He put a nail through the top to hold the orange slice. It was a lot cheaper than these advertised. I did buy a meal worm feeder though and it was a nice product. Now, bring on the birds…
Well I could not find it on Foster and Smith’s website but if you search for Copper Oriole Feeder and go to images, you will come up with multiple places to purchase this feeder.
That sure looks easy to clean!
I saw Cedar Wax Wing yesterday by itself in my tree. Heard it first & went looking. I have never seen one alone and never when there was still snow on the ground. I keep a half a dozen feeders of different varieties and a worm bath year round. It was a pleasant surprise.
I have a caption for the picture on pg 48:
“Bet I can beat you in a race!”
