J SCHATZ ORIGINAL DESIGN
The Egg Bird Feeder was designed in 2004 by J Schatz and quickly became a design classic. Jim Schatz designed the feeder to be beautiful, functional, durable and squirrel-proof. J Schatz Egg Bird Feeders have been sold to thousands of happy customers around the world. In 2007 the U.S. Patent office issued us our design patent #D566,344.

FROM OUR STUDIO TO YOUR BACKYARD
We design and handcraft all our products from our studio in New York and employ artists from the local community. Your support and enthusiasm for original design is shared by J Schatz and is reflected in the quality and integrity of our company and its products.

AVOID FAKES
As a design-conscious consumer, we ask that you avoid fake Egg Bird Feeders that are being falsely marketed as the creation of UK-based company "The Nuttery". In 2006 the Nuttery's managing director, Julian Lipton, purchased J Schatz's Egg Bird Feeders in order to replicate the design and call it his own. While Mr. Lipton extols his company's "design" and "innovation", he has in fact designed nothing, and demonstrated bad business ethics.

AN ORIGINAL YOU AND THE BIRDS WILL LOVE
Fall in love with the original Egg Bird Feeder. Read what our community of enthusiasts are saying about J Schatz and the Egg Bird Feeder below.

"I've had the feeder up for several weeks now and new birds come to it everyday. The chickadees come, and a blue jay (we lost our population to West Nile), but the real surprise is the White-Breasted Nuthatch! I've been feeding birds in this yard for over 20 years and although I could hear them singing they wouldn't come in until now. Your feeder is terrific!!
Past President of Michigan and Oakland Audubon Society

"Let me tell you that the orange colored bird feeder I gave my mother some time ago has not only fed the neighborhood birds through the winter, but provided her (and me when I visit) with considerable amusement as we watch a flurry of activity, looking almost choreographed, as multiple birds flutter in and out to feed on their seeds of preference."
Mary Louise - Boston, Massachusetts

"It's a wonderful and magical piece and the birds love it so i'll do whatever is necessary (short of dancing naked in freeway traffic at rush-hour or sitting on an anthill) to get another."
Chris - Sacramento, California

"Which came first, the bird or the feeder?"
Elaine Louie - New York Times

"Who says bird-watching isn't a modern sport? This bird feeder puts a fresh facade on a backyard basic."
Dwell

"For the Mod bird or the Mod bird lover? This sleek, minimalist Egg Bird Feeder will satisfy both."
Ricardo DeAratanha - Los Angeles Times

"With a sleek ovoid shape in slippery glazed ceramic that keeps hungry squirrels from getting a toehold, it's the perfect melding of form and function. Wakefield calls it "a great example of how ordinary objects can be elevated by design.""

Easy to Use - The gravity fed Egg Bird Feeder is easy to use. The ceramic earthenware egg is suspended by a vinyl coated wire. The egg supports two aluminum poles that suspend the aluminum base in the center of the egg's bottom opening. Bird food dispenses from the egg into the base and birds eat from the base until the egg is empty. To fill with bird seed you turn the Egg Bird Feeder upside down and take out a pin in the middle of the base, remove the poles and dish, and fill. The feeder holds eight cups of bird food.

Beautiful & Durable - The beautifully finished glossy ceramic earthenware egg and aluminum assembly are perfect for the extremes of outdoor weather. The ceramic egg's durable finish will withstand yearlong temperature extremes. The aluminum base, poles and vinyl coated hanging wire are rust resistant. The base has four small drainage holes to prevent water accumulation in bird food.

Gray Squirrel Proof - The glossy ceramic egg shaped surface of the Egg Bird Feeder deters gray squirrels. Gray squirrels will not be able to eat from the feeder if it is hung at least three feet away from surrounding surfaces. Squirrels simply can't hold onto the surface of the egg and the base is not large enough to support them.

Care - Wipe clean ceramic and aluminum surfaces with a damp cloth. Once a month we recommend cleaning the feeder with a 10% bleach to water solution. Allow the solution to set on the feeder for ten minutes, drain off the solution, and then rinse thoroughly. Allow the feeder to completely dry before refilling it. If a feeder becomes moldy, scrub it thoroughly with the 10% bleach to water solution using a stiff brush. Once it is clean, clean the feeder as above. If you live in an area that freezes please make sure the interior of the Egg Bird Feeder remains dry during the critical times of year when it freezes and thaws. Damage to the egg may occur during the freeze/thaw cycles if the interior is wet.

Hand Made - Egg Bird Feeders are handmade exclusively by J Schatz in New York.
