Kathy says
I’ve heard of them, just haven’t seen them in my neck of the woods. I have a beautiful old apple tree outside my door that gets many different song birds in all year round. Would be an awesome place to hang these in!
Cecily says
Never heard of bird donuts, but how fun! I would hang them from the hook that holds my bird feeder.

I am building up a bird sanctuary in my newly cleared field. I think the birds would LOVE these donuts.
I have only seen them in catalogs. I would hang them in my mulberry tree!

I’ve never seen the donuts, but would love to hand them near my back deck. There would be countless hours of enjoyment in watching the birds, or squirrels, perch on them and then eat them. How cute of an idea.
Bea says

Emily says
I’ve never heard of them, they are super cute though. Perfect for the front yard.
Jill says
Birdseed donuts are news to me! My parents are bird-lovin’ folks, so I’d send them on to them to brighten up the dreary midwest weather.
KAte says
I have never heard of them, but they are so darn cute!!
We have a big huge tree in our front yard, I’d hang several from that, and give a couple to my grandparents who are avid bird feeders/watchers.
KAte says
I just Tweeted out about it. I don’t have a ton of followers, but I know nearly everyone. So I know interest will be high.
E in Upstate NY says
Yes, have heard of Bird Donuts, as have purchased things before from Gardner’s Supply and am on both their mailing and email lists. Do like this company, am happy with everything I’ve purchased from them.
Since have neighbors who feed the squirrels [we have white ones here!], resulting in more than “nature” would support, would need to protect these donuts from the squirrels. Think I’d hang them from bird feeder hanging hooks affixed to the house.
Since don’t have Facebook account, and won’t, email is how I follow you Mavis.
sharon says
I haven’t heard of them. But I love the idea!!! I have the perfect spot a tree that we often bird watch. Oh I hope I win this one! Great idea!!!
Lisa L says
I’ve never heard of Bird Donuts. So cute! If I won I’d give them to my friend Brenda who loves feeding the birds on her property in Virginia. (I live in an apartment so no space to feed the birds unfortunately.) Thanks!
Cindy B. says
I have never heard of them. But they are great and my bird friends would love them. I would hang them out my back door where the birds get their seed from me every morning.
Anita says
How cute! I never heard of bird donuts before. I would give them as a Christmas gift to my mom and step-dad. They are bird lovers and love to feed the birds. I can imagine them laughing when they open the package–if I win this, that is. 🙂
Heidi says
I have never heard of a bird donut. I would give them to my Mom as a gift, she loves birds.

I have never heard of them but they are so cute and I would put them in the tree in my front yard
Jada says
I have not seen these before. The demanding birds at my Mom’s house would live them.
Becky says
I have never heard of donuts for birds but man are they adoreable! I would hang them on my crab apple tree in my front yard , just hope the neighbors don’t try to take bite cause they are so cute!
Noelle says
Never heard of them. However, my father in law has 8 bird feeders and i think he would get a kick out of these.
Erin says
Love them! But have not seen them before!
Ava says
I have never heard of them, but how clever! I would hang them all over the pine tree in my yard.
Mev says
I’ve never heard of them before- when I was growing up in Ohio we would roll pinecones in peanut butter then birdseed and hang these in the winter. In LA there aren’t too many pinecones dropping in the backyard! I would hang these by my kids’ treehouse so they could watch the birds nibble. Hopefully these will defeat our local greedy squirrel Ninja who has defeated all previous attempts to exclude him from the birdseed feast!
Carole Browne says
I have never heard of these before, but what a great idea! My sons always help me make pine cone feeders for our cold little friends but these might be a change of pace. I could hang them on my fre out front then do my best Homer Simpson impersonation! D’oh!
Randi says
These are foot stopmin’ cute! I LOVE the idea and have never heard of these before. How could this be?!
I subscribe to your newsletter and have posted on my FB page.

Never heard of them…my mom is having back surgery on the 22nd. She’s an avid birder and these would be great right outside her window!
Layne says
I’ve never herd of them before, but the look cute. My parents have a huge window in their kitchen and are avid bird and squirl watchers and are always looking for cool treats for their backyard “pets” and like to try different things to see what different species they attract!
Layne says

Sharon D. says
Those are too cute!
I had not heard of them before today. I would hang them on the Aspen tree outside our front window and also the Cottonwoods in the back yard, the birds love those 2 places. Thank you!

Barbara says
I’ve never heard of them, but so cute! I would hang them outside my kitchen window . Thanks!
paula says
No, I have never heard of a songbird donut! It would fit in just perfect with my husband’s bird feeding collection. He is the bird feeder in this house! We have 22 different types of feeders. We love to watch them! I even had a perfect stranger bring us this cool 3 story bird feeder. He was cleaning out his garage and remembered all of our feeders, so one day he drove over to present us with this cherished gift. It now hangs proudly with our other feeders. I gave him a jar of your strawberry basil jam that I had made.
JD says
Our feathered friends would love this. Very unique and clever. In the spring and summer we put out 60 lbs of seed per month. Yikes.
Theresa says
What an interesting idea! I have never heard of these before, I would hand them in our big maple tree out front so my son & I could watch the birds eating them.
Tina says
I had just saw these in a magazine and thought about getting them for my brother.
Becki says
I have never seen these! They are so precious! I would love to hang them around my house in the trees to be able to watch the birds from every window.
I subscribe to your newsletter and love it!!
kathy says
I have never heard of bird donuts! If I won them, I would keep some for myself and give a couple to my parents. They love to watch birds. We used to do a really good job of feeding the birds here, but we’ve been neglecting them. Pretty sure these donuts would be a hit!
kathy says
Yeah, so I already follow you on Facebook, instagram, and pinterest. 🙂
Heather says
I have never heard of these. I would give them to my bird lover friend who I’m sure would hang them outside her kitchen window!

Very cute! I would give them to my mom. She has a table set up right outside her dining room window just for her winter birds.

I have never heard of these! I would hang them on the opposite side of my house from my orchard to keep the birds away from the trees they love!
Stephanie says
Never but a great idea. I follow on facebook
Liliana Ciurea says
I’ve heard of bird balls, I don’t know about bird donuts…maybe. I follow you on facebook and on RSS.

I was really glad when I read you are willing to ship this anywhere in the world. Thank you for this!
Liliana Ciurea says
P.S. I would hang this outside my window so I could see the birds and I shared this post on a public Romanian bird watchers group on Facebook.

Those are the cutest ever! I love birds, but rarely feed them because we get mostly sparrows which swoop in and eat up a whole feeder in a day’s time.
I have never seen or heard of these before but would totally love them!

Not donuts, but have made my own birdseed “cookies” to hang outside somewhere the squirrels can not get to.
Brenda says
I’ve never heard of birdseed donuts, but what a cool idea. I would keep
them on the kitchen counter to show all my friends and family until after the first of the year!! Then the birdies get them.
