How To Put Together A Basic Bird Feeder With Ease And At No Cost 


If you would like to add a new bird feeder to your yard, you don't have to drive to the store and spend lots of money for one. You actually can build bird feeders at home. It really is simple and fast, and you won't need that many supplies for it either.

What you need to start off with is a basic one gallon milk jug. Of course, rinse it out completely first to make sure there is no leftover residue from the milk inside. Allow it to dry, and when it's dry, then put the lid on the container and stand it up in the area you are going to work.

On either side of the handle, cut openings that are around three inches in diameter. The openings should be pretty high on the jug to ensure the bird seed will not spill out from the container when you are all set to use it.

Beneath the large openings, use a nail to punch a little hole, where you can insert dowels. The dowels will be where the birds can come and perch to nibble on the food. Just be sure that the perch sticks out a couple inches on both sides so birds may easily perch.

Use the nail again to punch holes in the milk jug neck. This should be done an inch or so beneath the cap of the milk container. Then you will take some wire and work it through the pockets, twisting it together on top. This is what you will use to hold up the bird feeder.

Now you are finished creating the basic bird feeder. All you have to do is fill it up with some birdseed. Take it outside and use the wire ends to hang it from a tree or some other type of support in your backyard. If you want to attract many different birds, choose black oil sunflower seeds in your new bird feeder.
