My Living World Bird Feeder
We’ve just finished the Great Bird Watch in January and the
boys are very into encouraging wildlife in to the garden at the moment. Spring
is the perfect time for this and our trees outside are full of birds hunting
around. Perfect timing for being set the My Living World Window Bird Feeder to
review.
The set itself is a great simple little set which takes minutes
to put together. My 8-year-old managed it with a little extra help from me. The
age range is 5+ but I suspect that’s more due to smaller parts for the set in
case you want to wall mount it rather than window. It’s a great set for all the
ranges of the family, we’ve had siblings, friends, parents, grandparents and
great grand parents all watching the feeder – even some family pets!
Once the set is put together its simple to put up where you
want it. We chose the lounge window as its further away from where the cats and
dogs play and gives us a great viewing over morning coffee.
The actual set doesn’t come with any bird feed, but the booklet included recommends a variety in the range many of which can be picked up at your local supermarket. The boys were really interested in reading that different foods attracted different birds.
The booklet which comes with the set is superb for telling
the children and family more about what birds you’re likely to see in your
garden, how to maintain the kit – they have religiously taken not on the
calendar when to bring it down and wash it to ensure no spreading of disease. The
booklet also as well states that it could take a little while for the birds to
start using it as they need to get used to it first. It took our garden birds
about four days to come and brave the seeds inside.
We love the one way mirror it includes to ensure the birds
are disturbed by faces appearing on the other side of their new food, but we
might have to move it to a smaller window soon as I cant imagine what they
think when they see the boys, cats and dogs all with their noses pressed up
against the glass to watch!
For such a simple kit the My Living World bird feeder has provided
so much fun and excitement! Its really aided the boys in showing an interest in
the garden birds and how we can help them.
