Is it possible to buy a bird feeder here or must I make one out of an old milk carton? lol

There are some interesting little finches around and I'm wondering what else could be attracted with a few seeds :)

musicman

Wonderful idea Allie. I am sure you can get them from any pet store. I usually bring rice to the office and feed them on my window sill. Its an awesome sight to see thgem waiting for me, like a prayer, each morning.

There are some good bird feeders at habitat which is located on Sitteen Street :)

Alliecat

wow musicman what a fusion....me liked it:):):)

Alliecat

I saw Peter Gabriel in concert a few years back at the Tweeter Center across from Philadelphia.  He was GREAT~!

But forget about this thread hijack! :mad:  Back to birdfeeders!

(And yes, SQ.. there IS a large whale skeleton in a local petshop but I can't tell you the street because I don't know it what it's call :(  )

MisterStretch

I think you can find them at Saco, as well.

Remember...you invite birds to feed around your house, you cannot complain when they "deposit" around your house, too.

What goes in must come out.

Were it me...I'd be buying that python for the birds...

Fidgety Soul

Were it me...I'd be buying that python for the birds...


as soon u do it plz dont forget to invite me.i looovvvv gazing python :P:P:P

Alliecat

Misterstretch, sure I've considered that fact :)  That's why I want the feeder--to hang outside my balcony rather than to put crumbs actually inside the balcony.

Also, a small-enough feeder would deter the doves, of which there seem to be a million (and of course, the larger the bird, the larger the 'deposit' lol).

Bird feeders are available from pet shops in the city or on hair road where there are lot of shops for that purpose.

I know two pet shops. There is one on Al Ahsa street opposite to McDonalds and Alhamrani Nissan showroom. And there is another one on King Abdul Aziz right after Dabab Street exit. It is adjacent to Alissa Nissan showroom.
