WE all love to see birds in our garden, not only for the colour and song that they bring, but also for the help they give in the natural control of harmful grubs and insects which can damage plants and lawns alike.

Hey there, time traveller!

WE all love to see birds in our garden, not only for the colour and song that they bring, but also for the help they give in the natural control of harmful grubs and insects which can damage plants and lawns alike.

With the restrictions increasingly placed by municipal and other authorities on the use of pesticides, your garden will become more and more dependent on a healthy bird population for pest control. A steady supply of food in one or more feeders is guaranteed to attract these gardeners’ friends, and these feeders come in many shapes and sizes.

The gazebo-style feeder shown is an attractive and innovative design, and is sure to generate admiring comments from your friends and family. The plans for this project detail all you need to know to build the gazebo feeder and come with a complete materials list, step-by-step instructions and illustrations.

To begin the Gazebo Bird Feeder, ask for pattern No. 2031 and send $14.95 (please add $5 for postage and GST). Combine your order with our Martin Barn plan (No. BH-20) and Chalet-style Birdhouse plan (No. 2028) and pay only $44.95 total.

Make your cheque or money order payable to “Constructive Ideas” and mail it, along with your request, to: The Winnipeg Free Press, c/o PO Box 400, Beaconsfield, QC, H9W 5T9.

You may also order by calling toll-free, 1-800-561-8383 and by charging it to your Visa or MasterCard. Or, visit our web site at www.greatplans.com.
