Buy Bird Food

Building bird feeders can be a wonderful project for dads, moms and kids. It’s a pretty simple craft to build a feeder that you can hang in the yard to bring enjoyment for everyone. You can use materials that you find around your garage, or you can buy a kit that has every part labeled and described, so that it’s very easily put together.

Some very simple bird feeders can be made from egg cartons. Cut the lids off and fill the egg holes with wild bird seed. To hang these feeders, poke holes in the corners and run strings through the holes. Then pull the strings together and tie them in a knot. You can hang these feeders from tree branches. They are more functional than ornamental, so if you don’t have children or grandchildren to “help” you make bird feeders, you can buy or make more sturdy feeders.

Soda pop bottles make very functional bird feeders. Rinse out a two liter bottle and poke two holes near the bottom of the bottle. Then run wire through the holes, and twist the ends together. By placing dowels close to the bottom of the bottle, you can make openings so that birds can remove seeds from it.

For more attractive and permanent bird feeders, you can buy kits that have all the pieces needed in them, along with instructions that will be easy for you to follow. They come in many different designs, from the simplicity of a platform feeder to the intricate designs on miniature colonial or Victorian style feeders. Bird feeder kids are usually easy to find at craft and hobby shops, and they will provide a place where you can bird-watch for years to come.
