Bagel Bird Feeder Mobile

Wee life has a unique bird seed mobile using bagels and birdseed, peanut butter to keep the seeds in place, a tin pie pan and some ribbon. More interesting than seeing the birds peck at it may be seeing how the bagels hold up and how and if the birds eat the bagel or if some squirrel gets there first.

Good for ages 5 and up.
