Mini Blossom Aurora Table Top Set

Tired of clunky-looking birdhouses? Feeders that look like they're imprisoned behind a wire grid? Birdbaths that look like cheap plasticware or boring concrete?

Here are a few ideas for the more eye-pleasing ways to attract wildlife:

Decorative Hummingbird Feeders

Grand Chandelier Hummingbird Feeder

Try a decorative hummingbird feeder as a centerpiece for your outdoor tabletop.

For a high volume of hummingbirds or for limited space where a tabletop feeder won't work, you can try a gorgeous hanging chandelier feeder.

Also available is a pretty hummingbird feeder that slides right in a container or flowerbed. Not really suitable for high-wind areas but beautiful nonetheless.

Cast Iron Fishing Frog Birdfeeder/Birdbath

Aesthetic Birdbaths

Many of the birdbaths on the market are the standard pedestal birdbath or hanging ceramic birdbath.

Platia Fountain

However, you can find a few tabletop birdbaths that are out of the ordinary, from the whimsical to the sleekly sophisticated.

Sassafras Stump with Dripper

You can even find ways to water birdbaths that blend in with the landscape, like this stump birdbath

Other Bird Feeders

Cattail Feeders

Beyond the standard tube and box of so many feeders, you have several options. Some feeders are styled as lanterns, such as this one.

Others give a more natural look and can be inserted into a flowerbed or container, like these cattail-style feeders.

Beyond a Wood Box

Muddled Moose Birdhouse

House birds in something that doesn't look like a simple wood box.

A swallow's nest can add a smooth curve to a contemporary porch. A birdhouse in a style reminiscent of Colonial bird jugs has the added benefit of being starling-resistant.

For something completely out of the ordinary -- and comical -- check out the Muddled Moose Birdhouse.
