Thank you! I'm saving this info so I can do this sometime in the Spring, whenever the weather decides to warm up :) !! pkponder ...do you have a picture? Would love to see it. I want to include a Birdhouse and a Birdfeeder. My Birdfeeder is very large and I hung it last summer and was still out till recently when it needed seed and found out the thing broke at the top where you take it off to add seed ... so I'm mounting it on a pole and it will be just fine that way. It is VERY heavy so I can't have a tall pole for it. I included a picture of my bird feeder. It is 13 x 13 and has 9 feeding stations, 11lb capacity. I want to have a birdhouse separate but not too far away. Have an idea to put these alongside our ramp ... will look nice with some vines I think. :) Also, I know this bird feeder can be pole mounted because a couple people told me about how to do it. I saved that info and it says The pipe needs to be no wider than 7/8 of an inch. Anyway, looking forward to mounting that and I have to find a nice bird house to also mount on a pole. We have lots of cats around here (including ours that goes outside) and squirrels, so I might have to figure a way to keep them out.

I'm loving that red one, well and the purple one too. I just bought that same aqua cut glass vase a few days ago. Also, the red, white and blue one on the other post is great. I just need a few pieces of milk glass before I can put my patriotic ones together. There's a city wide GS this weekend, so I ought to be able to score some. Grrrreat job. Frou

What a fantastic idea! I love sparkly glass out in the garden, and I just happen to have a few of those little glass birds packed away. I'd love to see them out like that. It sets them above the flowers just right. This idea would work for a lot of little 'stuff' to put out amongst the plants, I appreciate you sharing it. The knitting needles was a great idea to use for a stick. I don't have any around, but I am finding 101 uses for bamboo, which is readily available to me.

I agree, try to get him in your room. I have Cathedral celings too. The bird will tire and eventualy come down. Put out a water source and a nice dish of meal worms. Leave a light on at night so he can see them when the house is quiet to sustain him. He will weaken and you will get him. I think hes a goner if he cant get out of the pipe. He may be too weak to get out of it. Find a nice light pillow case or towel to throw over him and as Cathy says either let him rest in a dark bag/box or let him lose if it is daylight. Are you sure there is NOT a nest up there? Can you get a mirror to be sure? Dont want to mess with him if he is tending a nest and he realy CAN get out.
