How to make a homemade bird feeder


What you will need:

. A round small plastic plate
. Any type of bottle
. A hot glue gun or super glue
. A knife
. A shoe lace or string
. A bag of bird seed
. A drill  (if you have one)

How to make it:

1. Cut 4 small holes as close to the bottom of the bottle as you can. don't cut the bottom of the bottle.


2. Glue your bottle to the middle of the plate. The holes on the water bottle should still be showing.
    
    


3. After the glue dries, put bird seed in the bottle and fill it up. Bird seed should come out of the holes onto the plate, If it doesn't make the holes bigger.


4.
Put the string through

   
Tie a knot at the end

   
Pull the knot 

5. Attach the top to the bottle  
   
Tie the other end of the string to the tree

Now sit back, relax and watch the birds enjoy.

What fun!!! Some funny bird pictures

BEST Birding Summer Ever!!!!


This Summer some house finches nested on the outside of my back porch. within the days of the mother incubating the house finch eggs some Titmice decided they were going to nest in a bird house i had just put up in my front yard i was so happy to watch both broods of birds growing up. then the house finches fledged and so did the titmice. after a few days the mother house finch decided to lay another batch of eggs in the same nest. then in the bird house, bluebirds moved in, as the bluebirds moved in some morning doves nested on a tree in my front yard. What could be better?? It was a really good experience.
