Eating like a bird

Bird_feeder_10TerraCycle, the company that brought you worm poop in a bottle, has a new product -- a wild bird premium feeder.

The entry-level bird feeder is made out of a recycled two liter soda bottle. It comes filled with birdseed. No filling or assembly required.

Beginning Friday, Sept. 7, the feeders will be available at Wal-Mart. TerraCyle hopes to have Home Depot selling them by spring 2008. It sells for $4.88.

Amazing. Where can I buy one? It doesn't say on TerraCycle's website.

Beginning Friday, Sept. 7 the birdfeeders will be available at Wal-Mart. Home Depot may sell them starting spring 2008.

I love this idea! Plus the feeder looks like it would be slippery for squirrels. On Friday afternoon I made a special trip to Wal-Mart in Secaucus to find one but they didn’t have any. I will probably go back again sometime this week but I was wondering if anyone around this area has had luck tracking this thing down?

I made a call to TerraCycle ... an official said they should be available at Wal-Mart by Monday, Sept. 17.
