This self-filling bird feeder is a fun way to use up some scrap wood. Great project for earning income, or just make them for friends and family!

You could also put a chimney on the top, and fill up the bottle from there,
A little idea that came to mind
Thanks for this 'basic product'. How lucky is that, I have all of these things lying around home. Instead of using the CloudBit I used a basic GPS device, called my friend at NASA and had him broadcast the appropriate bird song globally with directions to my auto feeder. Finished this project in 11 minutes.
I came back to watch this since enough paint has come off of the one I made years ago that the plywood roof is starting to peel away. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed your Micro Jig intros. Pity that sponsorship had to end. Great bird feeder, though -- the birds love this way more than the commercial one that hangs near it.
I'm not into bird feeding myself but as always enjoyed your video very much. I also like how you integrate little bits ideas into your projects. Thanks!
Great project Steve.My grandson and I will have to make one. Thanks for what you do and for sharing it with us.
Friday is my favorite day of the week
Steve
The bird feeder is nice, I look forward to building it with my daughter.
Her name is Adeline, and she is 4 1/2 years old. She loves watching your videos each week with me. It's a ritual that has quickly become almost nightly in our home.
This one in particular was enjoyable for us because of the Inside Out, Triple Dent Gum jingle Easter egg. That was really cool.
Thank you for helping us bond over such a cool hobby/lifestyle. I look forward to meeting you in Kansas City.
I asked her what she wanted to say to you and she said "I like his videos, and I like the colors he paints things"
Keep up the great work!
Got some scrap wood from a broken 1940s library bookcase. This looks like a great project to re-purpose some of it
I just watched the porch swing, and it's the best video ever. I think you should make more videos about mini furnituring.
Great project to do with my little one. He is 5 and learning fast about woodworking. Thank you. I always can wait for Friday no because is the beginning of the weekend but because I can't wait to see you video.
Hey Steve your really inspired me to wood work and I'm making a huge project for my parents thanks so much keep up the great videos
Very nifty ! Love the bright color choice . I would love to see more complex joinery in upcoming videos .
My youngins love to watch the beginning of your videos for the micro jig tidbit. They love it, and think you're nuts! But in a good way
Absolutely love this one, Steve. A simple project but it looks fun to make.
Nice video. It gives me an idea on a way to fill the feeder without having to take the roof off
Great design! Like the capped top to refill the feeder.
Counter sinks are awesome
Great project. I think I'll have to make this one with my daughter.
You can use littleBits to allow the birds to press a button to let you know when you it's time to fill up the birdfeeder. I guess you'd have to train the birds to do that wouldn't you? Great project Steve. This will be something that my daughter can help me with. Thanks!
Great idea with the Little Bits... So many possibilities... Love this channel, thanx for all the work and fun ideas...
Just had to say me and my girl's love watching your videos
Thank you for all your videos, I'm new to woodworking, :)
That gum commercial, I'm never going to get it out of my head!
The DIY Forest Sometimes we send that one up for no reason.
Parabéns Steve ficou muito bonita.....Saudações Brasil.
Excellent idea using the littlebit stuff with this project. thx!!!
It's a very nice bird feeder.
That looks really nice Steve!
There are bottle joiners and you could fill a 2 liter bottle and attach it on top of the bottle. This would allow extended time away, like on a holiday. Birds still get fed while you are away.
Tres amusant et utile ce que vous faites
Trop bien
Bravo
Very Nice 👍
Wow looks great, nice job again Steve
Will do;)
I absolutely love the microjig intro's
Great project going to make one now Steve
Cool project. Just be aware that most soda bottles are polyurethane which doesn't bond hardly at all to epoxy. Keep on making!
Only got a chance to watch it now, great video steve!
haha Nice touch with the Inside Out gum commercial reference!
Lol Steve the start of the gripper is only getting funnier ...but tell you what it works as I'm getting one
Another great vid....question for you... Band saw or scroll saw???
You get me every time on the gripper
Hi S loved the fast hammering it was like a woodpecker [ not the Canadian one ] bird , no elephant at the end of this one ,

Your website is the BEST !!!
Subscribed ;)
Great source of resources for those weekend projects... enough there to keep me busy for a YEAR :))) Thanks for sharing Steve
Nice paint job! Lol! Thanks for sharing! Cute little project!
Love your videos very informative
Steve do u use galvanized screws
Would be helpful if you could show cut list of material u use
THANKS STEVE
Nice job as always Steve! Well done.
Great idea Steve, take care Harry
Looks like a fun project!
Hey Steve, I think you should make a homemade rocking chair. Love the channel.
Very nice ---let us know how popular it is with the birds...
Great job
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Looks like extra fancy screws
Spectacular your project.
Nice feeder Steve.
Nice 👍
Is the "RUFF" the same thing we have here in Canada called a roof? LOL Nice build Steve
***** Now why would you be speaking about yer boots? LOL Wishing you and your family and all of your subscribers a wonderful summer
+Murray Lowe it is winter where I am
cs weapons Where is that?
Australia
+cs weapons You call that winter LOL Come to Canada and enjoy a winter with us. LOL
Good job
Have you thought about making a picnic table
Great job!
That screen ain't goin' anywhere! Nice vid Steve!
My cat would love to see this outside HER window.
I think the birds are going to be disappointed you did not use any dovetails!
Pun intended?
Of course!

You probably should knot the string used for hanging the feeder. I can see a squirrel getting up there and causing the whole thing to tip to one side, spilling all of the bird seed. Then it would be an automatic squirrel feeder.
Great project Steve.... Terrible music though!
I really like this one steve, thanks!
Cool idea Steve. Well done. Douglas
time to get an x-carve steve. you're falling behind the youtube community!
I've heard or read that birds don't like the color red. Also humming birds prefer the clear nectar over the red.
Nice work Steve!
Super easy no-mess funnel:
Take an identical bottle and it's cap, plus another cap. Cut the bottom off of a bottle, then cut out the center of the two caps, then super glue or hot glue the two together, top to top, so that there are threads on both sides. Now you can thread your funnel onto your opening.
I use this with water bottles for meal replacement shakes so I can just grab a bottle of water and put the shake mix in without having a blender bottle.
This was a cool project.
Please include a video of a real bird eating from it!
Maybe in the mere minutes.... :)
lovely!
We don't have the Automatic Birds in Michigan, will this feeder work with regular birds too? Just out of curiosity, (my cat wants to know), what do Automatic birds taste like
Fun project. What did you use the button for in the feeder or did you just prompt for ideas to automate the feeder? Have you used the bits for home automation yet?
Nice project. I would love to know what your flush trim saw is. I bought one, and the blade is so flimsy that it bent while trying to cut off a 3/8 in dowel.
This is soo dang cool
Great project.
greet idea keep up the good work
Cool, thanks for this Steve :)
fancy screws !
Would you consider to lock the sting? it might tilt a little while the birds eat... they might not like it.. lol
Cheers and thanks!
Ed
Hmm, I was looking for Princess Meow-Meow with a bib and a knife + fork...
(yeah I watched too much Sylvester + tweety when I was a youth.)
Neat.
Hi Steve! I'm a huge fan and your channel has really inspired me to embrace and experiment. I was just wondering a couple of things - why do you use plywood for this project instead of regular 1x4s or 2x4s (or something of the like)? Also, can you use brad nails instead of screws? I'm new to woodworking and just trying to understand the "hows" and "whys" of everything.
Thanks for having such an awesome and empowering channel!!
I often use plywood on projects that I am going to paint since I don't care what the wood grain looks like. It is cheaper than solid boards and flat...no twists or warping! Brad nails are fine, but can eventually work their way out. Screws are always more secure. But in a small project like this, it doesn't really matter. Wood glue will be stronger than either fastener.
Is if this then that have a limited number of reactions?
Hi Steve,
What about using hot glue instead of epoxy ?
Regards
You can also cut glass bottle by using a cotton string dipped in acetone, wrapped around the glass bottle a couple times and lit on fire, then dipped in cool water. It's obviously more dangerous to do for younger people in the audience, but it works extremely well in my opinion.
Great little project, Steve. I like this a lot. Time to make a squirrel feeder too. Wait ... they'll just use this one. :o)
*sigh* Great, now I have that song in my head!
Nice squirrel feeder!
ME ENCANTO LA BANCA... ME GUSTO MAS QUE LA CASITA ... TAL VEZ POR QUE FUE ALGO NOVEDOSO... SALUDOS DESDE MONTERREY MEXICO :p
+Steve Ramsey have you made a TV stand/ entertainment center yet? #nextproject
Nice use of reclycled bottles. I'd rather paint the feeder in green, yellow and brown. Would you mind showing some actual birds feeding? Keep the good work!
Nice bird feeder, Steve. Did you have any visitors yet?
Went to WWMM looking for a bat house plan - to no avail. Skeeters are bad this year :(
Good idea!
Hey Steve, nice projects by the way, im a huge fan. Is there any particular reason you use hex screws in all of your projects?
Nice project but my small bench top band saw can't handle the roof cut.
Hi would love if you make a front loader washer and dryer pedestal.
Please and thank you :)
How are you going to clean the bottle!!?
Love the music
That's a cool bird feeder. Is there any concern of getting spray paint in the screen or was that area covered like the bottle? Also, awesome choice of songs with the little bits demo. I just went to the movies with the family to see Inside Out last weekend
Bottle cutting jig? Use your bandsaw!
