This bird feeder is made from a wine bottle, this Etsy seller did a really good job too! These customer wine bottle feeders have one feeding port, are easy to refill, and make great gifts for anyone who enjoys feeding birds. It’s easy to hang with the included chain.

This cool looking blue glass bird feeder is pretty, well-made, and quite unique in my opinion. It hangs from hooks and hangers like a typical bird feeder and the glass bottle screws and unscrews from the base for easy refilling and cleaning. It only holds about a half pound of birdseed so it’s not that big. The vintage/antique look is very eye-catching.

It comes in multiple color combinations, can hold 38 0z of hummingbird nectar, and would make a great gift. It’s a beautiful hummingbird feeder, is quality made, and has great reviews on Amazon. Very bright and artistic!

This hanging bird feeder closely resembles a sunflower. The petals are made of glass and the center is made of mesh and holds about 4.5 cups of bird seed, and how appropriate that sunflower seeds work best for this feeder. The mesh holes are on the larger side so small mixed bird seed will fall right out. This unique bird feeder would look great in a garden, especially a sunflower garden!

20. 
This whimsical mushroom feeder would be great for anyone who loves nature, cottage decor, fairies, Alice in Wonderland, or even Super Mario brothers!
