Does anyone live near pine cones?

I dont, I dont even know what a pine tree looks like! I live in shrubs w/ palm trees.

I want to do those bird feeders w/ peanut butter and seed on a pine cone. I will pay for shipping & handling, but I just want a nice big box!! USPS has those flat rate shipping boxes now...

Where are you? I'm in Northern CA, and there are pine cones laying around out here. We toss them into the burn pile.

In between Goleta and Santa barbara, lol our burn piles are just shrubs!!

Let me walk around and take some pics to see if you want these. In a while - my son is visiting for 24 hours and leaves this afternoon - after I fill him up with good homemade food!

We have pine cone trees in our neck of the woods.

Just remember, different types of pines, spruce and firs have different types of cones. Some cones are not really good for this type of activity. If no one closer to you has any good cones, LMK. We have a ton of pine trees in the woods near us, and the cones are good for this. We do it every year at the nature center in early December.

I have made birdfeeders out of pinecones, too. Unfortunately the pine trees in my immediate vicinity aren't good for this type of project. I think the ones at my friend's house are good though. I'll have to check next time I visit her, which is hopefully soon.

Way too many pine cones here! I could send you a truckload at least. LOL

Gobs of pine cones, here, too - and I've used them to make the peanut butter/birdseed creations

mspony,

You live close to pine trees. Just head for the mountains. You should find them at higher elevations.
