Autumn Activities 5- Make your own bird feeder

Today we are doing another craft activity, Bird feeders.
Now you could go and buy a bird feeder and the bird seed but I was looking on Pinterest and saw so many ideas on how to make your own in a creative way so may do a Pinterest board tagging different ideas.

You will need;

  • Small plastic bottle
  • 2 cheap wooden spoons
  • Something to punch holes in bottle
  • String to tie bottle to tree
  • Bird feed
Recipe for bird feed;
  • 1 cup of lard
  • 1/2 cup of sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted peanuts
  • 1/2 cup of dried fruit
Mix altogether and leave overnight. Put into bottle and do up lid. Punch some holes randomly three or four times on bottle. Stick the wooden spoons through the holes so it looks how it does in photo. Then tie up in the garden on a tree or branch.

Hopefully you will attract lots of different birds.
