I've made quite a few "neat" bird feeders which might give you some ideas. One of my favorite ideas is combining a bird feeder and bird house in one, this helps attract the birds which eventually check out the house part and move in. I've used this approach to make a log cabin design, gas station design, ranch house design, etc. Also I've taken a plain bird house that my Father had made and added an elevated deck onto the front with a feeder on the ground level (below the deck). If you want specs just let me know and I'll post diminsions and instructions. Hope this gives you a few ideas!

Wick!
