Great year 'round...
|
 Some icing
on the surface of the water is normal when temperatures are this low, especially if there
is a breeze. Your birdbath is not defective if ice begins to form around the rim. Keeping your birdbath filled with water ensures the heating element will perform to its highest potential. As the water level decreases, icing will increase. |

 Over time, even the best made bird houses age and wear. The
entrance, or portal, often is enlarged by squirrels trying to move in during a cold winter
(left). Worse yet, critters are often found trying to get at young nestlings in
unprotected boxes. The predator guard increases the distance (and reach) required to do
harm to eggs or fledglings. Eventually, without a predator guard + portal protector, the
house will have to be replaced. But you could squeeze some life out of it, or
avoided part of the problem in the first place, with a metal portal protector
from Erva Tool Co. (right) as shown on the Chalet
Style Bluebird Box from GoodPlanet.

 Erva Finial - a
decorative attachmentmade of 100% plastic - nothing remarkable. It's black. Fits standard 1" diameter pole...stands proudly at 4-1/8 inches (and would very likely measure the same laying on it's side). While decorative, as the name implies, the genuine Erva Finial serves a vital purpose: it keeps rain water out of your pole...which, frankly we thought was not a big deal until a customer brought in a pole many years ago with a massive split down the side. It seems the pole had filled with water and then froze. Ice beats steel in this case. Lesson learned. Included at no additional charge with Erva #ERQUAD, #FPQUAD, and #FPDUO pole top hook assemblies. Also sold separately for just $3.50 note: minimum $10 credit card & web orders....how about adding a suet cake to your order? |

Model: HP65G $16.75 Note to web-shoppers - This item will cost an extra $7.50 to ship because it is what UPS considers to be "oversized".

The feeder arrived yesterday and within minutes of installing it, we had birds investigating and then finding their way though the "fence". There's a big party going on out there now and not a squirrel in sight! Thank you very much for your help in selecting the whole system. It was so nice of you to send the sample food, too. It's been very well received! We'll be back in touch when we're ready to "add on". It was a real pleasure to work with you! All the best." Sheila Mc.

| J.J.'s Tips: Setting up
your backyard habitat is easier than you think. First consider placing feeders where they
can be seen from your favorite viewing area. Next, consider and accommodate the
functionality of the equipment. For example, placing a "squirrel-resistant"
feeder so close to a tree that the critter can reach the prize without leaving the tree
sort of defeats the purpose of the feeder's design. Lots of creative home-hobby gals &
guys have tried to rig up gadgets and gizmos for baffles, hangers and poles. If they are
attractive and functional, great, we love DIY. If not, give us a call...we've researched
the typical hardware needs and field tested most all commercially made stuff. If it works
as advertised, we carry it. If not, we let the slick marketing folks sell the junk to the
big box stores. More info...
