The Toast Bird Feeder Makes Creating a Bird-Friendly Yard Effortless

— January 20, 2012 — Art & Design
Birds everywhere would be a little bigger if everyone owned the Toast Bird Feeder. The Toast Bird Feeder is an ingenious bird feeder that makes it easy to feed birds and dispose of leftover bread. The bird feeder was designed by Mike Rankin of the Etsy shop Wudwerx and is a simple cage designed to hold a slice of bread.

The cage has small, square-shaped holes that birds can peck at to eat the toast trapped inside. The Toast Bird Feeder comes with a roof and side slats (giving it the look of a 2D home) to ensure that the bread will stay dry even in bad weather. Rankin's design will help birds eat and people cut down on their amount of food waste.
Trend Themes
1. Bird Feeder Innovation - The Toast Bird Feeder's unique design provides an opportunity for the development of more innovative, sustainable, and cost-effective bird feeders.
2. Waste Reduction Solutions - The Toast Bird Feeder promotes waste reduction, making its technology particularly applicable to creating more innovative and sustainable backyard gardening and sustainable outdoor dining solutions.
3. DIY Bird Feeder Kits - To meet the increasing demand in the market, companies can offer bird feeder kits designed with easy-to-follow instructions for people to assemble their own bird feeders of different styles and materials.
Industry Implications
1. Gardening and Landscaping - People interested in gardening and landscaping can incorporate the production and sale of eco-friendly bird feeders as part of their business solutions to mitigate climate change.
2. Online Marketplace - An online marketplace can offer an infinite range of innovative, easy-to-use bird feeder designs that appeal to bird lovers and sustainable living proponents worldwide.
3. Outdoor Retail - Outdoor retail stores can expand their sustainable living product line by sourcing and selling innovative bird feeders that satisfy the need of the market and support environmentally conscious consumerism.
