Winter wildlife treats

Which came first? The bird or the egg? The answer is both. The clever combination inspires these bird seed eggs from Gardener's Supply. Hang them in your favorite tree and watch the birds flock to them this winter. The colorful seed eggs come in an egg carton, a unique gift for the birder or for kids just learning to appreciate wildlife.

Gardener's Supply also offers a pint of seed strawberries to tempt birds. Like the eggs, each is solid seed with a built-in jute hanger. The cost is $15.49 and $19.95, respectively, at gardeners.com.
