Birds need their carbs and fats, too, right? It’s a good thing they can get their fill by ‘flying thru’ these Burger King ‘Fly Thru’ bird feeders. They look so well-made that you’d think the Burger King himself was behind them, but these were actually made by Brian Wolter.
The bird feeder features the Burger King logo prominently and provides a tiny, sheltered space off on one side where the bird food is supposed to be. It looks pretty sturdy, so I’m sure our avian friends can have their fill and chow down on birdseed and bread while being safe from the elements.
The coolest thing about this feeder is that it’s got a solar panel system on top that absorbs the sun’s energy to generate power to light up the Burger King sign at night and during early morning.

It’s that crazy time of the year once again. Spooky costumes, haunted houses, bags full of candy, a pumpkin burger from Burger King. Wait, what? That’s right. The Burger King Pumpkin Burger is only available in Japan, and only for a limited time – unless it’s a big hit – then they will just serve it year round and start counting their stacks of money.
I never thought of combining a hamburger with pumpkin before, myself. I’m not sure how that would taste. Guess folks in Japan will soon find out. Starting next Friday, for a limited time only, Burger King Japan customers can buy a seasonal BK Pumpkin Burger.
It consists of two slices of fried kabocha squash (Japanese pumpkin) with bacon, lettuce, a beef patty, and special sauce made from sesame seeds, peanuts, almonds, cashews, and hazelnuts. Wanna give it a try? It’s just 310 to 590 yen (~$4 to $7 USD), plus the cost of a round trip ticket to Japan.
I have nothing against the color black, but when it comes to my food, I’d prefer it to be not black. I don’t know what Burger King Japan was thinking when they rolled out their black-bunned Kuro Burger (JP), but it probably wasn’t about customers with my dining preferences.
That said, I still think Kuro Burger will be a huge hit with Japanese fast food lovers, because it’s too unusual to pass up with its black buns and black sauce.
The dough of the buns have been mixed with bamboo charcoal to turn it deathly black, while the sauce is a mixture of squid ink and spices to give it that creepily zesty oomph.
Oh, and did I mention that Burger King came up with this black burger as part of its fifth anniversary in Japan? They probably thought black was a festive color that was fit for the occasion. Burger Kings all over Japan will begin serving these black burgers on September 28th. If you happen to be in the area, give it a try and tell us if its any good.
Funny thing is, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen a burger with a black bun – French chain Quick offered a special Darth Vader burger earlier this year with a similar look.
