Saw this $6.00 resin bird decoration at one of the dollar stores so I bought it and drilled a hole in it for a bird to hopefully make use of it. Also added a wooden peg perch and hanging hook - although I ended up glueing it to the top of one of a fence post.
Will say drilling the opening took some time and elbow grease...and it stunk really bad while the hole drill bit I used cut through the resin. Have no idea what chemicals China uses in their resin but UGH!!! It was a n-a-a-a-a-a-sty stench!!! The bad odor went away once I was done.
I thought of painting the bird a different color - like a mocking bird or cardinal since we don't get blue jays here but left it as is. I've bought another one and am hoping to paint it like a Green Jay or perhaps a Great Kiskadee as those birds are both abundant!
