Hi, Hi, Birdie

Popoutz Bird Feeders

How do you say “greasy spoon” in Avian?

Try “pinecone bird feeder made in second grade prominently displayed in the yard.” (Gosh, those mockingbirds are harsh.)

Perhaps it’s time to set your feathered friends up with Popoutz, the modern dining digs they had no idea they needed (or even wanted).

Assembly is easy: The feeder arrives as a flat piece of plastic that becomes a pouch once the flaps are pushed in. After you fill it with peanuts, sunflower seeds, or suet pellets and hang it on a branch, birds come to eat the treats through the holes on the sides.

Available in clear or bright colors like red and yellow, Popoutz are made from recyclable plastic and cost only $1.80 a pop, so you can toss them when they get crusty without feeling too bad.

After all, it’s really for the birds.
