Materials Needed =====================

To make a DIY bird feeder, you'll need the following materials:

Step-by-Step Instructions =============================

Step 1: Clean and Prepare the Bottle

Start by cleaning the plastic bottle thoroughly with soap and water. Dry the bottle completely with a towel.

Step 2: Create the Feeder

Cut a small hole in the side of the bottle, about 1 inch from the bottom. This will serve as the bird's entry point.

Step 3: Apply the Peanut Butter

Spread a thin layer of peanut butter around the inside of the bottle, starting from the hole and working your way up. This will help the birdseed stick to the bottle.

Step 4: Fill the Feeder

Fill the bottle with birdseed, leaving about an inch at the top. You can also add suet, nuts, or dried fruit for extra nutrition.

Step 5: Attach the Rope

Tie the rope or twine around the neck of the bottle, leaving enough slack for the birds to reach the feeder.

Step 6: Hang the Feeder

Find a sturdy branch or hook to hang the feeder. Make sure it's high enough to be out of reach of predators, but low enough for the birds to easily access the feeder.

Tips and Variations ========================

• Use a variety of birdseed types to attract different species of birds.
• Add a perch or tray to the feeder to make it easier for birds to land and feed.
• Use a different type of material, such as a cardboard tube or a wooden box, to create a unique feeder design.

Conclusion =============

With these simple steps, you can create a DIY bird feeder that will attract birds and other wildlife to your garden. Remember to hang your feeder in a spot that's safe and accessible for the birds, and enjoy the show! Read more
