    Fantastic! I live in Spain and the only bird feeders available cost about 30 euros each from the garden centre. Now I can make lots of these for the birds nearby, and hope to entice them into my garden more :o)

      They cost around 3-4 EUR on Aliexpress (shipping incl.). But yes, it's better to create one! I'll do the same.

    Great idea! Best way to recycle drinking bottles. One suggestion, glue a small dish underneath to catch any spillage. Don't forget to drill small holes to let rain water flow.

    I instantly gave a thumbs up before even watching the video because I was merely greatful someone had taken the time to even show me how. And it was simple and easy and a great idea. So to all the thumbs down how about you spend more time trying to be a help to others such as this video and keep your negativity to yourself. Don't you have real disturbing videos to troll?

  • @samanthac.349
    @samanthac.349 2 роки тому

    This is very easy to make! I used an old, cheap multi tool knife for most of the cutting. Instead of a drawing pin, I used the tip of the corkscrew, and I used a large knife attachment in a twisting motion to enlarge the holes as needed. Instead of poking the lower dowel into the bottle, I super glued it into the bottom. The dowels were 12 inches long, so I cut them down to 9 inches for the perches and glued the remaining pieces to the bottom parallel to the lower perch. This creates a stable bottom when I want to refill the birdseed and utilizes as much of the lower half of the container as possible.

    • @macbethpkyiv

    this looks like a squirrel feeder! If you added one of the plastic round tops that sometimes comes on take-away (at least in the US) above the knot, it will give the squirrels a little more of a challenge.

  • @JesseDicker49
    @JesseDicker49 11 місяців тому +1

    How did you keep the seeds from falling out of holes for birds to feed? The seeds are in the bottle higher than the holes. I used empty 40 oz peanut butter containers and made the holes large enough for the birds can go inside to eat.

    i find that our birds like free standing feeders the best, so i use long steak sticks in the ground and attach my feeders to the top ,old candle holders work great, i always use clear glass inserts for the candle holders small ones because there is less seed wasted and i can find cute glass containers they perch on top and eat away and you can wash them easy with soap and water and then replace them,

  • @mnpd3
    @mnpd3 8 років тому +7

    Any feeder I used which was made of plastic didn't last long ---- the squirrels chewed them up in no time flat. There was absolutely no way a plastic or wood feeder could be mounted to keep squirrels at a distance; if the birds could reach it, the squirrels could too. The problem was solved only after I went to all-metal feeders. I still feed the squirrels as well as the birds, but the feeders remain intact. At least your plan doesn't involve any cost.
