Unfortunately, they didn't have any in stock yet, but, as I was leaving, I saw this on a stand next to the cashier...
It a bottle that you hang in the garden and which provides sugar water for birds.
Instead of adding the sugar to water and then adding food colouring, I decided to add the sugar to a cup of rooibos tea LOL I hope the birds like the rooibos flavour?!
A cup of tea for the birds, and one for me too :) |
But, I had a thought as I took that photo - the day I finally get a couple of chickens, if I enlarge the dispensing hole, perhaps I could provide water for the chickens using this method - that should keep the chicken food out of their water...!
And so I am going to be forced (LOL) to drink a bottle of wine, in order to get the bottle, and RMan is going to drill out the hole for me - the rest of the design I should be able to manage myself LOL (I hope the chickens don't mind a bit of wine flavour when I re-use the cork?!)
And it's yet another way of recycling a glass bottle.
Neat idea. You may have to do one or two more to improve on the design!
ReplyDeleteChickens, how exciting. I like the wine bottle water dispenser idea.
ReplyDeleteJohn - Reckon I could probably quaff a couple more - all in the name of experimentation, naturally! LOL
ReplyDeleteMr H - That's the plan... Do you think that watering system would work with your chickens?
Empty wine bottle! That just means time to make more wine;)
ReplyDeleteI love ideas like this. And really, is looks quite aesthetic hanging there, filled with lovely rooibos tea. :)
ReplyDeleteLeigh - I reckon that 1/4 of the bottle has already been sipped by thirsty birds! LOL
