| Make CHEAPEST bird feeder- good project for kids
Make your own basic bird feeder (Kids would love to help with this very basic project) An empty Toilet tissue roll or Pine cone Peanut Butter Birdseed Scrap piece of yarn, ribbon or string This one isn't a toy but the kids love to make them and what better example could you be setting for them... Teaching them how to help the smaller species on our world. Cover the paper roll or pine cone with peanut butter. Roll in birdseed. Draw a sting through the center of the paper tube or tie it around the pine cone. Tie it to a tree and watch the birds have a picnic. Here are some free feeders for you to use...coconut shells, grapefruit halves...both will hold suet and seed mixtures. Onion bags that you normally throw out also make good feeders. Simply fill them with suet or melt some beef fat if you should have some on hand and then form it into a ball. Drop into the onion bag and then hang from the nearest tree. Avoid pork fat, however as it is too salty! Last edited by pheonixxf; 10-02-2001 at 04:02 PM. |
