WINDSTICKS
A living wind sculpture for your garden that moves gracefully in the wind.
- Sway gently in the lightest of breezes.
- Unbreakable in the strongest gales and is exciting to watch when the wind is strong. They are extremely flexible and I have never had one break in any wind, even the gale winds we had in September 2013.
- Will not rust or rot so you can put them in lakes and ponds.
- Colour is impregnated all the way through the wand.
Feed Birds on your Windsticks:
- Slide slices of apple, fruit or squares of bread down the Windsticks to attract birds. Wax eyes like all sweet fruit - apples, bananas, pears, oranges, kiwifruit etc. The wax eyes at my house love bananas and kiwifruit the most.
Wax eyes only eat the soft flesh and the leave the outside skins. In the middle of summer when it is very hot I find bananas holds its moisture better than say apples.
- Feeding birds are well above the ground from cats & dogs
- Depending on how close the birds already live to your garden, it could take initially take the birds a week or so to work out you have food for them.
Start with 2-3 fruit or bread slices and change it each day so that when the birds land the food is moist and fresh. Once the birds have worked out you have food they will generally turn up at similar times each day to check for food. Ensure you put fresh food out each day as if you disappoint the birds in time they will take you off their flight pattern and then it can take time to get them to realise you have food for them again. If you feed them a lot anyway they should work it out quickly.
I find in Winter when food is scarce my Windsticks get mobbed by birds and it is really easy to train them at that time of year. It is not unusual in Winter to have 12-20 birds outside feeding
- Each Windstick has 2 stones set along the length that will enable you to feed the birds. If you wanted Windsticks with no stones just let me know. Windsticks with no stones will stand more vertical and are good for making a mass "grid" effect
To Install:
Push each stick into firm ground, e.g. garden, lawn, or they look fabulous in a pond
Or push into a weighted down ceramic pot
Colours:
Red
Purple
Lime Green
Sky Blue
Orange
White
Black
- Colours of Red, Blue, Lime Green, Orange and White stand out the most against a green garden. Black is more subtle and blends more into the background of the garden, but stands out if in front of pale colours
- Mix and match the colours as much as you want
