Bird Feeder

This is a neat and easy way to make a bird feeder out of a plastic bottle. We use an Orange juice bottle, but any kind will do. Don't be afraid to get creative!

Wash out plastic bottle.
Ask a teacher or parent to cut holes for the feed hole, and string hole. We tape the plastic edges to make the landing a little more comfortable for the birds.
Start gluing twigs or branches to cover the entire bottle. We used cedar branches, but feel free to use anything you want.
Fill bird feeder with seed until it reaches the opening.
Hang on your favourite tree, and enjoy!
