www.treehugger.com Here's a step-by-step guide on how to make a simple DIY bird feeder. Opening: Attract feathered friends to your yard! Want to enjoy the delightful sight of birds right outside your window? Building a DIY bird feeder is a fun and rewarding project that's easy on the wallet. This guide will walk you through creating a simple and effective feeder using readily available materials. Let's get started!
Materials You'll Need:
- A plastic soda bottle (2-liter size works well)
- A utility knife or scissors
- Wooden spoons or dowels (two)
- String or wire
- Birdseed
Step 1: Prepare the Bottle Clean the soda bottle thoroughly with soap and water and let it dry completely. This is essential to prevent mold and bacteria from harming the birds.
Step 2: Create the Perches and Feeding Holes Using the utility knife or scissors (adult supervision recommended!), carefully cut two small holes on opposite sides of the bottle, about 2-3 inches from the bottom. These holes should be just large enough to slide a wooden spoon or dowel through. Repeat this process about 4-5 inches higher up the bottle, again on opposite sides and offset from the first set of holes. This will create two perches for the birds.
Step 3: Insert the Perches Slide the wooden spoons or dowels through the holes you created. Make sure they are secure and stick out far enough for birds to perch comfortably. The spoon part of the spoon should be inside the bottle, allowing birdseed to flow onto it.
Step 4: Create the Hanging Mechanism Near the top of the bottle, cut two small holes on opposite sides. Thread a piece of string or wire through these holes, creating a loop for hanging the feeder. Make sure the knot is secure, as this will bear the weight of the feeder and birdseed.
Step 5: Fill and Hang the Feeder Fill the bottle with birdseed. You can use a funnel to make this easier and avoid spills. Once filled, find a suitable location to hang your bird feeder, such as a tree branch or hook. Ensure it's a safe distance from predators like cats.
Conclusion: Enjoy the Birds! Congratulations, you've created your own DIY bird feeder! Now, sit back and enjoy watching the birds flock to your new feeding station. Remember to refill the feeder regularly and clean it periodically to prevent the spread of disease. Happy birdwatching!
