Hanging Bird Garden Wind Chimes

Velleora Home Decor's Wind Chimes hang a small flock of decorative birds above a set of tuned tubes, so a breeze that would otherwise pass unnoticed becomes something you can hear from inside the house. The tubes are cut to length rather than at random, which is the difference between a chime that sounds like music and one that clatters.

The birds and the top plate are finished in weather-resistant colour that holds through a season outdoors, and the tubes are anodised metal that will not rust into streaks down a wall. A generous length of cord lets the striker swing freely, which matters more than the tube quality itself - a chime hung too tight simply will not sound. The hanging ring fits a bracket, a branch, a shepherd's crook or a porch hook.

Hang it where it catches a breeze but is not exposed to the full force of a gale, and where the sound will carry to a window or a seating area. If it becomes noisy in high wind, lift it down for a day rather than letting the tubes batter each other. Rinse dust off occasionally and check the cord for wear each season.
