Enjoy watching Blue Birds in your backyard by bringing them in with a bird feeder. This design includes horizontal bars that are spaced so that only small birds (blue birds, nuthatches, chickadees, …), can get to the food supply (freeze dried meal worms suggested). The typical feeder allows intruders such as starlings and robins to steal most of the food, but with this feeder they are too large to get to that food. This design was inspired by the Gilbertson feeder which has been very successful. All parts are printable except for the hanging hardware like eye bolts and screws. The parts fit together very snugly and screws are not required; a little glue would be good to join the top and bottom parts if screws are not used. I definitely recommend printing in PETG or ABS since this will be exposed to all types of weather! Be careful when inserting the bars into the Post holes.You will have to flex the posts some, if you try to get the first bar end into the post just a bit before inserti
