Helsinki-based bird enthusiasts Mika & Julie Tolvanen designed Bird Silo, the debut product for Pidät. They studied the eating habits of birds for several years by feeding them from prototypes at their dining room window (while eating their own breakfast). The feeder’s size and shape were chosen specifically for small songbirds and woodpeckers who prefer to eat while clinging vertically. Bird Silo is designed to function like a grain silo. You lift the top cone, pour in sunflower seeds or peanuts, and the feeder fills from the bottom up.
Bird feeder is made from 100% recycled plastic. The rope is also 100% recycled.
