Make a Recycled Bird Feeder

​If you are lucky enough to have a balcony, window box or a small garden maybe you could make a bird feeder.

​You will Need

• *Plastic drinks bottles
• *Yoghurt pots or milk cartons (make sure they're clean)
• *Wire or string
• *Bird seed
• *Scissors

​
1. Cut a hole in the side large enough to allow a free flow of seeds, but in such a way that it won’t all fall out on the ground in the slightest puff of wind, and won’t get wet if it rains.

2. Make a few small holes in the bottom of your feeder to allow any rainwater to drain away.

3. Hang it with wire, or even strong string from a tree or your washing line.

4. If your feeder starts to wear out or the food in it goes mouldy, recycle it and make another one! Remember to keep your feeders well stocked.
