It need not be an expensive bird house luxury equipment. Our birds need our help, otherwise many starve.
Here are some instructions to build a small simple feeding station. This can be done flat empty yogurt containers, clean, dry plastic drinks bottle or a simple piece of wood.
In the empty yogurt cup engraved in 4 "corners" of small holes. The best under the thicker edge. Heat a needle to pierce easily, it's easy. Wire through the holes to form a handle, fill with birdseed and hang. You can also make yourself fat food: melt coconut oil and oatmeal add up all the flakes are well soaked with the fat and pour into the cup.
the drinks bottle is now a feeder! The bottle must be clean and dry, or moldy, the food! The best way is a bottle with a large opening. Unscrew the bottle cap and pierce two holes in it, just as the edge of the bottle, the best there is where the thread or older. Now you need another one skewer of wood. This is with a wire attached to the bottle so that it lies across the opening. This is the perch, you'll catch the birds so to the food. Now the lid with wire fastened so before opening the bottle, it stays about 2 cm "air" between the lid and bottle opening. The bottle base is closed, stand only 2 holes in it and pull wire through for hanging. Then Press the lid off something, so you can fill the bottle opening. Then press the cover back over the opening and turn the whole thing. With the lid prevents the food fall out and from the 2cm space between the birds can pull out the food. It usually slips from his own. Please remember to get at the feeders, only the smaller birds, mostly chickadees, Siskins, Chaffinches ect. But the larger birds such as chokes need a feeder. In addition I have a wooden board with 4 holes provided through the holes and shaped wire to form a suspension and hung in the tree. The best is when the boards on a fork supported, it does not wobble so hot .. The boards may as well be screwed to a fence, just with fixing lugs provided on one side. Who still has narrow wood strips or squares, this can as a boundary on the screw board, so the food is not as fast slipping over the edge. Now, just sprinkle the bird food on the boards, then the larger birds appreciate a set table.
Have fun crafting!
