Cosmic Orrery Celestial Seed-Orbital Station

Construct the central sun-core using a hollow cedar sphere that acts as the primary seed reservoir. Carefully drill gravity-fed ports along the equator to allow seeds to trickle outward into the orbiting rings.

Fashion the planetary rings from bent birch plywood, staining them in deep space hues to mimic the solar system. Each ring is notched to hold a miniature trough that collects seeds falling from the core above.

Assemble the brass hardware and miniature ball bearings to create a kinetic, wind-responsive rotation system. This allows the feeder to gently spin, creating a hypnotic visual display that attracts birds from afar.

Seal the entire structure with a marine-grade exterior finish to protect the delicate wood joints from seasonal weather. Final installation involves mounting the system on a central telescopic pole to allow for easy refilling at ground level.
