hdqwalls.com Opening: A Simple DIY Bird Feeder to Attract Feathered Friends Attracting birds to your yard can be a delightful experience, bringing nature right to your doorstep. And what better way to do it than with a homemade bird feeder? This guide will walk you through building a simple, effective bird feeder using readily available materials. Let's get started!
Materials You'll Need:
- A clean, empty plastic bottle (like a water or soda bottle)
- Two wooden spoons or dowels
- Twine or sturdy string
- A drill or sharp object for creating holes
- Birdseed of your choice
Step 1: Preparing the Bottle Carefully clean and dry the plastic bottle. Remove any labels and make sure it's completely empty. This ensures the seeds won't get contaminated and prevents mold growth.
Step 2: Creating the Feeding Perches Decide where you want your feeding perches to be. With the bottle upright, use the drill (or sharp object) to create two holes on opposite sides of the bottle, about 2-3 inches from the bottom. Make sure the holes are large enough for the wooden spoons or dowels to pass through snugly. Repeat this process about 4-5 inches higher up the bottle, creating a second set of holes directly above the first.
Step 3: Inserting the Perches Slide the wooden spoons or dowels through the holes, creating perches for the birds to stand on while feeding. Ensure they are secure and don't wobble too much. If the holes are too large, consider using a bit of glue to secure them.
Step 4: Creating the Seed Dispensing Holes Now, you need to create holes for the birdseed to dispense. Just above each spoon, drill or poke a few smaller holes. These holes should be large enough for the birdseed to fall out easily, but not so large that the seed spills out continuously. Start with smaller holes and enlarge them if needed.
Step 5: Attaching the Hanging Mechanism Near the top of the bottle, drill or poke two more holes, one on each side. Thread the twine or sturdy string through these holes, creating a loop for hanging the bird feeder. Make sure the loop is long enough to hang the feeder securely from a tree branch or hook.
Step 6: Filling the Feeder Pour your chosen birdseed into the bottle. You can use a funnel to make this easier and avoid spills. Don't overfill the feeder; leave some space at the top to prevent seed from clogging the hanging holes.
Step 7: Hanging the Feeder Find a suitable location to hang your bird feeder. Choose a spot that is easily accessible to birds, away from predators like cats, and sheltered from strong winds. Hang the feeder securely using the twine loop.
Conclusion: Enjoy the Show! Congratulations! You've created your own DIY bird feeder. Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy watching the birds flock to your feeder. Remember to refill the feeder regularly and clean it periodically to prevent the spread of disease. Happy bird watching!
