More Balcony than Gardening but..

..hope this is still on topic.

I've had this lamp collecting dust for about ten years with the plan to repair it at some point. Now i wanted to build a bird feeder for my balcony and remembered the lamp and thought i'd try this. I love it and the birds seem to love it too. Or maybe it's the nuts they love.

Can't wait for the season to begin so i can grow some plants too again.

You have a lovely crop of birbs coming up! They will love it when you are able to add some greenery too.
I think this counts. You have turned what is often a dead, underused space and added a little life. That to me is the spirit of this community.
What a clever idea! I'm curious about what the string hanging from it is for?
- Right? I wanted to build a feeder that keeps the bird shit away from my table and balcony floor. I still have a feeding plate on the table but i think i will remove it after winter.
  The string is just so that it doesn't go all over the place in the wind. It was quite stormy in the last days and i was a bit worried, but i'm quite impressed with the storm proofness, there were some heavy gusts. Wind comes always from the left.
  *edit: String is long enough that i can still turn the lamp onto my table to refill etc.
