Opening: Building a Simple DIY Bird Feeder Want to attract beautiful birds to your yard and provide them with a reliable food source? Building a simple DIY bird feeder is a fun and rewarding project that can be completed with minimal materials and effort. This guide will walk you through the steps to create a basic bird feeder using readily available items.

Materials You'll Need

A clean, empty plastic bottle (e.g., soda bottle, water bottle)

Two wooden spoons or dowels

Craft knife or scissors

String or wire for hanging

Birdseed

Step 1: Preparing the Bottle First, thoroughly clean the plastic bottle to remove any residue. Allow it to dry completely. This prevents the birdseed from clumping or becoming contaminated.

Step 2: Creating the Feeding Holes Using your craft knife or scissors, carefully cut two small holes on opposite sides of the bottle, about 2-3 inches from the bottom. These holes should be large enough for the wooden spoons or dowels to pass through, but not so large that the birdseed will spill out easily. Repeat this process about 4-5 inches higher, creating another set of holes directly above the first pair.

Step 3: Inserting the Spoons/Dowels Push one wooden spoon or dowel through the lower set of holes, ensuring the spoon's bowl or the dowel extends outward. Repeat this with the second spoon/dowel through the upper set of holes. These will serve as perches for the birds.

Step 4: Creating Feeding Platforms Using the knife or scissors carefully create an area below the spoons/dowels, that allow the seed to fall out, this can be done by carving a small notch or opening just below the spoon/dowel.

Step 5: Adding the Hanging Mechanism Make two small holes near the top of the bottle, opposite each other. Thread a piece of string or wire through these holes, creating a loop for hanging the bird feeder. Secure the ends of the string or wire tightly.

Step 6: Filling the Feeder Pour birdseed into the top of the bottle. You may need to use a funnel to avoid spilling.

Step 7: Hanging and Enjoying Hang the bird feeder in a safe and visible location in your yard, away from predators like cats. Ensure it is easily accessible for birds. Now, sit back and enjoy watching the birds flock to your new DIY feeder! Remember to refill the feeder regularly and clean it periodically to prevent the spread of disease.
