Solar Illuminated Bird Sanctuary - Ornamental Metal Feeder with Pest Defense (10.2"x6.2")

This dual-purpose avian haven combines Victorian-inspired metalwork with modern solar technology to create a 24/7 destination for hummingbirds and songbirds. The 8cm polycrystalline panel efficiently powers a warm 3000K LED that casts delicate floral shadows at night, while the weighted 12oz base deters raccoons without obstructing smaller birds.

Engineered for precision feeding, the 6.2-inch-wide seed tray features microscopic texture patterns that prevent seed slippage yet allow easy cleaning. The elevated copper finish (patina-resistant coating) blends seamlessly with both rustic and contemporary gardens, while the 10.2-inch height positions it perfectly for ground-feeding species.
