Perky-Pet Copper Panorama Bird Feeder

A bird feeder is an old sympathy custom for a reason: the birds come back every morning, and the person has something to watch while the house is quiet. The Panorama is the one to send because it works. The circular perch lets several birds feed at once, seed stays dry under the copper-finish dome, and the cap locks so squirrels cannot lift it.

It lands for a parent or grandparent who has lost a spouse, for a retiree who now has mornings to fill, and for a mother who already keeps a feeder and wants a second one in view of the kitchen window. It hangs from a hook or a branch in a minute.

It holds two pounds of seed, has drainage holes so rain does not rot the bottom, and comes apart for rinsing. Add a bag of black oil sunflower seed to the gift and the cardinals arrive within the week.
