Building a bird feeder may be a outstanding project for moms, dads and kids. It’s somewhat simple to build a bird feeder that may be hung in the back yard and fetch years of enjoyment for the whole family. You may either begin from scratch with material you have around the house, or you may buy a kit that has everything you need to make a very beautiful and functional feeder. You may make a very simple bird feeder out on an egg carton by cutting off the lid and filling the egg pockets with birdseed. To hang the carton, plainly poke holes in the four corners of the carton and run string through each hole. Then, gather the string together and tie a knot. You may hang the feeder from any tree branch. Soda bottles also make outstanding bird feeders. Wash a two-liter soda bottle and make two holes at the bottom of the bottle. Thread a piece of wire through the holes and twist the wire ends together. Place dowels near the bottom of the feeder, and make an opening for birds to remove seed or cereal. Kids likewise love to make cardboard tube bird feeders. All you need is a tube from a paper towel roll and a piece of yarn. Tread the yarn through the tube, then lay the tube on a piece of paper towel or plastic and coat it with honey. Take birdseed or cereal and sprinkle it all over the sticky tube. Tie the yarn into a knot and hang your finished project from any tree branch in your back yard. If you want to get a little fancier, a bird feeder kit has prefabricated pieces with easy to follow instructions. They come in a potpourri of designs including a simple platform feeder to beautifully designed miniature versions of Victorian or colonial style homes. You may find bird feeder kits in any craft and sideline shop, gift shops and a number of online stores. |
