Bird watching is an engaging and educational pastime which provides a unique tranquility which is difficult to match. It is also relatively inexpensive because you can make your own homemade bird feeders and place them around your yard or garden space. You’ll soon attract a variety of birds which will be drawn to your feeding stations. You’ll get to know them intimately and can spend many rewarding hours observing their behavior. Once established, your home will fast become a valuable and known feeding resource and you are very likely to receive hundreds of feathered visitors.

Bird feeders come in different designs like platform feeders, tube seed feeders, suet feeders, peanut feeders and hopper feeders. Each of these performs their role differently, but the joy is that you can recycle many common household items to make them into perfectly good bird feeders. For example, if you have a piece of ply board lying around you could make this into a platform feeder, or you could convert a length of plastic pipe into a tube feeder. The easiest way to make a suet feeder is to use old onion mesh bags. If you apply your mind the possibilities are enormous.

Making A Hanging Bottle Feeder

Here’s one way of making a homemade hanging bird feeder using an old plastic bottle. Take a 2 liter plastic soda bottle, rinse and dry it out and stuff the bottom 1” or so with dry paper towels. Make a couple of bird perches using kitchen skewers that you pass across the bottle at right angles to each other. Keep them apart by about 3”. Trim them so that only about 2” of skewer projects out of the bottle. With a utility knife cut a slit of about 1/8” in width roughly 1” to 2” above each perch. Fill bird seed into the bottle and replace the cap. Bind a piece of wire round the bottle neck and hang it to a tree branch where you want to establish your feeding station. You should be able to attract your first visitor very soon and once the first comes, others will follow quickly.

This is just one way to make a simple bird feeder which will cost you nothing. If you look around your house and use your imagination I’m sure you’ll come up with many more enterprising ideas for homemade feeding stations.
