Bird baths & Bird Feeders??

Hi There!
Spring is here and I have been cleaning up my front yard. I have been thinking of getting a bird bath (s) and some bird feeders to put around my front yard. I have looked around at some stores and found them pricey ($ 25-100.00!!! ) I was wondering if anybody has found them in stores or online cheaper or if they had or know of a way to making them cheaply. ( Please make it easy! Not to handy!) All I want is for the bird feeders and baths to look nice not tacky!!
Any suggestions or ideas would be helpful!
Thanks!

Jennifer,
get some terracotta pots (3) & glue the together … bottom one facing up, next one facing down, next one facing up … get a plate or a water catcher you’d usually put on the bottom & put on the top … ta da … a bird bath …

Hi Jen,
I have hummer feeders and those thistle seed feeders in our yard.
The thistle feeders are best because #1, they dont sprout when seed is on the ground and #2 less seed is wasted.
I got our feeders either from WalMart or OSH. The best time to buy them is in the late fall when they are on clearance.
The thistle feeder I got is ceramic…not that nasty sock-thing.
Just be sure to keep them cleaned and filled or else take them down.
OH! and remember the squirrels! If you get a pie plate and punch 3 holes in the rim, you can get string, wire or a chain and hang it from one of your trees…put any kind of seed in it and wait and watch.
PS the terra cotta pot thing is a cool idea! Just keep it away from the kids :-s
