Not too long ago I blogged about a bird feeder review I was planning for the site CSN Stores. It's actually a pretty cool website because they sell all sorts of products- even beyond bird houses and bird feeders (which they do quite well I might add). It's easy to get distracted when looking for something bird-related. Last time I was on there I got completely distracted looking for a bar stool to go with this new work-station area I've set up for my laptop at home. But that's a story for another day... So I ended up going with the "Our Pets Lighthouse Seed Feeder" which I set up in the backyard, hanging off our barn. I'm using black-oil sunflower seed in it, which always makes sense for tube bird feeders. One concern I have is the issue of waste, but since the tray at the base is so wide, most of the seed that birds toss around gets captured, eliminating waste. Seed recycling bird feeders (like Tidy Diner) are all the rage right now, and this Lighthouse...

A representative from CSN Stores reached out to me to do a review of one of their products. Wow- where to begin... CSN Stores has over 200 online stores, with everything from dinnerware to shower curtains, to hammocks and loveseats! Naturally I gravitate toward bird-themed items. They have some lovely bird whistle tea kettles, and "Living Birds" wall art (stickers). Very cool :) I'm leaning toward one of the more functional "bird" products though. Like their amazingly modern bird feeders . Check out the design of this suet hanger and regular tray style feeder. I wonder if they're squirrel-proof? Surely that slick metal must be hard to hang onto with their little feet. Stay tuned to see what I choose!
