How You Can Build A Simple Bird Feeder Effortlessly And Cost-Free
If you want to add a new bird feeder in your backyard, it's not necessary to go to the store and spend a lot of money for one. You actually can make bird feeders at home. It really is easy and quick, and you are not going to require that many materials for it either.
What you'll want to start out with is a simple one gallon milk jug. Of course, clean it out thoroughly first to be sure there's no remaining residue from the milk in it. Let it dry, and once it is dry, then put the lid on the jug and stand it up where you're going to work.
On each side of the handle, cut holes that are approximately 3 inches in diameter. The holes should be pretty high on the jug so the bird seed is not going to leak out of the jug when you're ready to use it.
Below the large openings, you can use a nail to punch a small hole, in which you'll be able to insert dowels. The dowels are where the birds will come and perch to eat the food. Just make sure that the perch sticks out a couple inches on both sides so birds can easily perch.
Use the nail once more to punch openings in the milk jug neck. Do this an inch or so below the lid of the milk jug. Then you'll take some wire and work it through the holes, twisting it together at the top. That is what you are going to use to hang up the bird feeder.
You now are done making the basic bird feeder. All you need to do is load it up with some birdseed. Take it outdoors and use the wire ends to suspend it from a tree or another kind of support in the yard. If you want to attract many different birds, go with black oil sunflower seeds with your new bird feeder.
