Create a Stylish Rain Guard for Your Bird Feeder From Light Fixtures

After buying one unexciting plastic dome-shaped rain guard for a bird feeder, we decided there must be a better way – and there is!
We spotted a vintage glass and brass chandelier shade in a thrift store for less than the $8 we paid for the dome from the birdseed store. It struck us that with some sealing of vent holes, removal of electrical cords and sockets and the addition of a couple of hooks, we could have a much more decorative rain guard for our bird feeders. Now we have a large metal arbor hanging outside our large living room window with about 10 chandeliered feeders and lights.
