Light on tiki, but definitely on a budget. I made this about a year ago, and didn't think to do the step-by-step, Anyway, since I won't be able to build much inside for a while, I decided to give the birds a tiki-type feeder. I had a bunch of driftwood I wanted to use. Wrestled with maybe an A-frame (too many weird angles), thatch roof (would last about 6 months in Florida), and a few other ideas. Ended up using about seven bucks worth of wood from the culls at Home Depot for the seed bin. Roof, lid, and platform were all from driftwood (with a few palm frond spines to fill it out). Front posts are from scrap dowels I had laying around and whittled with tikis - sort of a Ku on the left, and a Moai on the right. Flashing and roof underlayment was from recycled coconut water cans. At least the birds like it!
