Fleur French Provincial Hanging Bird Feeder, Distressed White Tray with Perched Birds

An open tray swung on three fine chains from a little crown, two birds already settled on the rim.

Fleur is an open hanging bird feeder in slim aged metal with a distressed white finish. A small pierced crown sits at the top, with three fine chains splaying down to a shallow round tray, and two little birds perch on the rim as part of the casting.

With no roof, the tray sits open to the garden, which makes it easy to fill and lovely to watch. Hang it from a branch, a hook, or a verandah beam where you can see who comes by.

Why we love it

• ◆ An open chain hanger, a shallow tray swung from a little crown, light and pretty in the garden.
• ◆ Distressed white aged metal, a soft, worn finish for cottage gardens and country verandahs.
• ◆ Easy to fill and watch, the open tray tops up in seconds with seed or a little water.
• ◆ 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 hook with seed; see more in the garden and outdoor collection.
• Hang it near a window where you can watch the birds come and go.
• Pair it with the roofed Dannielle feeder or the Thibault and Gerard pedestal bird baths for a coordinated bird garden.
• Indoors, fill the tray with a pillar candle or a little potpourri for a hanging dish.

Care & Keeping

Wipe with a soft dry cloth, and empty and dry the tray between fills if used outdoors. With no roof, refresh seed and water often. The aged metal will weather over time outside, which suits the look; bring it under cover to keep the distressed white crisp.

Because Fleur 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.
