• All you need is plastic drink bottles, or yogurt pots or milk cartons. Clean them thoroughly, wire or string, bird seed and scissors.
• Then you cut a hole in the side large enough to allow a free flow of seeds, but in such a way that it won’t all fall out on the ground in the slightest puff of wind, and won’t get wet if it rains.
• It’s a good idea to make a few small holes in the bottom of your feeder to allow any rainwater to drain away. Once you have it ready hang it with wire, or even strong string from a tree or your washing line.
• If your feeder starts to wear out or the food in it grows mold, recycle it and make another one! Remember to keep your feeders well stocked, especially in winter. Birds come to rely on them and will go hungry if you forget.
