Dannielle French Provincial Hanging Bird Feeder, Whitewashed Grey Roof with Perched Birds

A little domed roof on chains, a seed tray below, and two birds already waiting on the rim.

Dannielle is a hanging bird feeder in slim aged metal with a whitewashed grey finish. A fluted domed roof shelters a round seed tray below, hung on fine chains, with two little birds cast onto the tray rim.

Hang it from a branch, a shepherd's hook, or a verandah beam. The roof keeps the worst of the rain off the seed, and the open tray makes it easy to top up and to watch who comes by.

Why we love it

• ◆ A roofed hanging feeder, the domed canopy shelters the seed tray and gives it a little French folly look.
• ◆ Whitewashed grey aged metal, a soft, weathered finish for cottage gardens and country verandahs.
• ◆ Easy to fill and watch, the open tray tops up in seconds and sits at eye level once hung.
• ◆ Perched bird detail, two little birds on the rim, there whether or not the real ones have arrived.

How to style it

A few ways to place it:

• Hang it from a tree branch or shepherd's hook with seed; see more in the garden and outdoor collection.
• Hang it under a verandah or pergola where the roof keeps the seed dry through a shower.
• Group it with the Thibault or Gerard pedestal bird baths for a coordinated bird garden.
• Set the tray with a tealight or a few cut stems for a decorative look on a covered porch.

Care & Keeping

Wipe with a soft dry cloth, and empty and dry the tray between fills if used outdoors. The aged metal will weather over time outside, which suits the look; bring it under cover to keep the whitewashed grey crisp.

Because Dannielle is hand-finished, slight variations in patina, texture, and paint are natural and add to the unique character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens; all photography is taken in natural light.
