Materials You'll Need:
- A plastic bottle (e.g., soda or water bottle)
- Two wooden spoons or dowels
- A craft knife or scissors
- Strong string or wire
- Birdseed
Tools You'll Need:
- A drill (optional, for easier dowel insertion)
- A marker
- Ruler
Step 1: Cleaning and Marking the Bottle Thoroughly clean the plastic bottle with soap and water and allow it to dry completely. Using a marker, draw two horizontal lines on the bottle, opposite each other. These lines will mark where you'll insert the wooden spoons. The lines should be a few inches above the bottom of the bottle, leaving enough space for birdseed to accumulate.
Step 2: Creating the Spoon Holes Carefully use the craft knife or scissors to cut along the marked lines. Make the cuts just wide enough for the handles of the wooden spoons to slide through. If you have a drill, you can pre-drill small pilot holes to make cutting easier and prevent the plastic from cracking.
Step 3: Inserting the Spoons Slide the handles of the wooden spoons through the slits you created. The spoon heads should be inside the bottle. Adjust the spoons so they are level and stable. The spoon bowls will act as perches for the birds and catch the birdseed as it falls.
Step 4: Creating the Hanging Holes Near the top of the bottle, drill (or carefully cut) two small holes on opposite sides. These holes will be used to hang the bird feeder. Make sure the holes are large enough to thread the string or wire through, but not so large that they weaken the bottle.
Step 5: Adding the Hanging Mechanism Thread the string or wire through the holes you created and tie a secure knot at the top to create a loop for hanging. Ensure the loop is strong enough to support the weight of the filled bird feeder.
Step 6: Filling the Feeder Pour birdseed into the bottle. The seed will naturally fall onto the spoon heads. Don't overfill the bottle; leave some space at the top for easy hanging.
Step 7: Hanging Your Bird Feeder Find a suitable location to hang your bird feeder. Choose a spot that is easily accessible to birds, protected from strong winds, and visible from your window so you can enjoy watching the birds. A tree branch or a hook on your porch are good options.
Congratulations! You've built a simple and effective DIY bird feeder. Remember to regularly refill the birdseed and clean the feeder to prevent the spread of disease. Enjoy watching the birds flock to your new creation!
