| Simple Wooden Feeder |
| | |
This is an easy feeder to construct and hopefully make those berry-eating birds happy. |
| | |
 |
You'll find this project requires little skill and uses just a few materials and is very inexpensive.
|
| |
|
Here's all you need:
- one piece of wood 1" square about a foot long
(the base)
- a second piece of wood. 1" x 2" about 10 inches long (the upright)
- a plastic plant pot saucer
- some interesting looking twigs perhaps gathered when pruning trees
- an eye hook, some nails and pieces of wire |
| |
|
|
|
Nail together the two pieces of wood using two 2-inch nails. The 1" x 1" piece is the base. |
|
Using a few small nails, attach the twigs to the upright piece. Try pointing the twigs in different directions. |
|
|
| |
|
Attach the sauce to the top by drilling two small holes in it, one in the very centre and one a little to the side. The centre hole is for the eye hook and the second one is for a nail to hold the sauce down and keep it steady. If you use a washer under the hook (as shown here), the second hole and nail may not be needed. |
| |
|
Using twist ties, hang your bunches of berries to the twigs. |
| | |
|
Attach the feeder to a tree branch or hanger in your feeding station.
Then sit back and wait for those hungry birds to discover it! |
