How To Make Your Own Bird Feeder.

You will need:

2 Sprite bottles

Hot glue gun

Dowelling Rods   

                                                                                                                                                                                                    String 

 

 

1. Get two Sprite bottles

2. Cut one of the bottles in half and one of the bottles a third from the top.

3. Wash all the pieces of the bottle then dry them (make sure they are dried very well                         

     or the seed will go mouldy)

4. Take the lids off the bottles and put the longer top upside down into the base.  Hot glue    

    gun them together.

5. Hot glue gun the shorter top to the longer top.

6. Get a piece of dowelling rod and make a hole on either side of the bottom of the feeder

7. Stick the piece of dowel through the holes you made then hot glue gun around the                             

    holes so it can’t come out.

8. Just above the dowel cut out a arch way big enough for the bird to get the seed.

9. Make sure all the glue is dry then you can decorate it how you like (try to make it   

     native colours)

10. Once everything is dry put bird seed in it and tie string around the top.

11. Go and hang it where you like.

 

Have fun watching your birds
