My hobby is making bird feeders out of repurposed objects. I’m highly visual and love to watch wild birds interacting with airy feeders, so I repurpose candle holders that have glass votive containers, which I fill with birdseed.
I use wire bird cages for feeders. I think it’s fascinating (and ironic) to watch wild birds squeeze into a cage. This one is outside my office window. My Instagram feed has more examples.
Most of the feeders tend to be elegant and pretty, but a silly one—made from a brand-new bra (not mine, it’s way too big)—went viral on Facebook a year ago and has since had 26,000,000 views. Yep. Twenty-six. MILLION.
It’s a perfect example of how combining disparate items—in this case birds and bras—makes a third concept that transcends both. And because it’s amusing, never-seen-before and a bit naughty, people share it to a fare-thee-well. If only I might have made a penny per view!
Something else about me: I have clever ideas that don’t make me rich. But that’s another story, and one that’s not as cynical as it sounds. As game and reality show losers invariably say, “Hey, I had fun!”
