Building a Bird Feeder

This is a real simple one:

Things You'll Need:

Birdseed
Dowel Rods
Scissors
Binoculars
About 2 Feet Thin Wires
Common Nails For Poking Holes
1-gallon milk jug

Step One
Wash an empty 1-gallon plastic milk jug thoroughly, removing any milk residue from it.

Step Two
Put the cap on.

Step Three
Stand the milk jug right side up on your work surface.

Step Four
Cut large holes - about 3 to 4 inches in diameter - in two adjacent sides of the jug opposite the handle. Cut the holes in the middle of the side and high enough that the seed won't spill out of the jug when you put it in.

Step Five
Use a large nail to punch a smaller hole below each of the large holes, and insert a dowel, which the birds will use for perching, through diagonally. The perch should be long enough to stick out about 2 inches on both sides to provide perching spots for your birds.

Step Six
With the large nail, punch two holes in the neck of the milk jug, about 1 inch below the cap.

Step SevenRun a 2-foot-long piece of wire through these two holes, twisting the wire tightly above the cap with several turns.

Step EightFill the feeder with birdseed and use the wire ends to hang it from a strong branch or other support.

Tip: Use black oil sunflower seeds, which will attract the largest variety of birds.

Bird Feeder and Bath - Stainless Steel/Wood
Nothing beats the look and feel of steel. This Stainless Steel Bird Feeder and Bath is a wonder to behold. The garden accent converts from a bird bath, with a wooden platform (perfect for the summer!) to a bird feeder (great for the winter months!). Rising from the ground by way of the accompanying wooden stake, this bird bath/feeder will surely attract birds attention. The bright, easily maintained surface of stainless steel provides a modern and attractive appearance. And remember, the chromium content of stainless steel allows the formation of a rough, adherent, invisible, corrosion-resisting chromium oxide film on the steel surface. If damaged mechanically or chemically, this film is self-healing, providing that oxygen, even in very small amounts, is present! And with proper care, it has a useful life expectancy of over 100 years, and it is totally recyclable! That means this stainless steel birdfeeder is worth its weight in gold -- a marvel to feast your eyes on, and a value to last a lifetime. This item ships directly from the manufacturer. Product usually arrives in 2-8 business days, depending on destination, including order processing and shipping.
