That's so sweet! Thank you for feeding the animals. I love that you didn't try to prevent squirrels from getting the good stuff too! ❤️ I carry cat food, dog food and bird food/squirrel food with me in my car so that I can feed a hungry animal if I come upon one.
Decorating a tree outside like this should be just as big of a tradition as decorating one inside! It would be a way to get the kids outside and thinking about giving.
I live near the Pacific Ocean. People want to feed the sea lions, seals, all so strangely cute. There are signs at every rest stop saying not to feed them. I understand the urge but it's dangerous to anthropomorphize wild animals.
Omg I can’t believe I found this. I’m looking for a way to feed my little friends outside and God sent me here ..yes God did that cause I prayed silently and this was the first video that came up after that. Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ this is perfect!
My MIL has become unwell and isn't able to go outside any longer, she does have a Sun porch and a larger deck, these would be AMAZING to make for her from my kiddos, where she could sit in her home and watch the birds and nature she has always loved and worked so hard in .. and what a special gift from my kids to their Nana. THANK YOU for sharing this. How amazing 3 yrs later and your video is STILL giving a gift to the animals AND those who need companionship... That is beautiful!!! thank you so much. (We are going to make a few of these to take to the elderly in our neighborhood that aren't able to get out because of health and temps to bring a little joy to their days. THANK YOU again! Blessings from your friend in NC
Very nice! Remember, grow trees and bushes that give shelter and food that the native birds enjoy. A gift that keeps on giving:)💞 and in spring plant plants and flowers that will provide nectar and seeds.
Very good point plant trees and shrubs as habitat for the birds if you want them in your yard, also make sure to choose trees and shrubs that grow berries for the birds to eat .
Hypocrisy to my opinion... Those who are feeding birds are the same who are chopping trees to have a neat lawn, a bigger house, a pool, or supporting highway constructions, etc... Typical cognitive dissonance.... Wake up people this mental disease is spreading @ warp speed... Adapting nature to human consumerism lifestyle is making anthropomorphism. Nature & wildlife don't need us or shouldn't be dependant on us to exist. But this doesn't mean we shouldn't protect Nature. Just be able to avoid this kind of misunderstanding/manipulation trick. This propaganda means : If wildlife doesn't buy on the supermaket, let's incite people to buy us food for it by making nature dependant on the market... This is just an indirect consumerism trap folks... spread by demons... This is disguized domestication + unconscious human manipulation & manipulated ideology to justify further ecosystems degradation ; and feel reassured because we can still feed wild animals . It's an occult financial/satanic cult ! This is just lying to ourselves by not understanding this.
I love when UA-cam sends me a gem 🤗… this is amazing and totally do able for me……I have my first birds in the bird box I made 2 years ago to my surprise I can watch them come and go on the security camera we put up last year . We do feed the birds but it’s dull in comparison it’s time to jolly out up again . Stay safe stay well x
That was so lovely to watch. Now I know one of the many reasons I find your videos so soothing and calming. You have the innate ability to convey the feeling of Home. Thank you!
Love these ideas!!! They say to leave the garden be before winter so the birds have something to eat, but I totally understand wanting the peace of knowing that under the snow things are nice and tidy!!! But this way the birds get more fat and calories, and they certainly have an easier time getting to these nutrients!!! They sing for their supper and reward you with birdsong!!! So sweet, Laura.
The muffin tin one would be cute in heart & star shape pans. In fact I have even seen little trains & gingerbread man muffin tins at Christmas - how cute would that be?!?! Great job as always Laura!!!
I've made them using mini-bundt pans before. You end up with little wreaths. If you want to get creative, stick some cranberries in the bottom of the pan before adding the seed mixture.
Oh my God...how creative you are. I'm stunned. I'm going to write these down and make these ideas. You are a genius. My only problem is I have lots and lots and more squirrels than leaves on a tree and I'm worried they will destroy my efforts. But I'm going to do it anyways. I'm so excited. Thank you so very much for sharing, I can't thank you enough. How creative you are.
Love every one of these! Infact when we get my niece & nephews over Christmas break (parents work) I might have to make some of these w/ them - they would love to decorate the trees outside for Christmas!!!
Keeping our family involved in feeding birds and making bird feeders and houses is so much fun . Our 5 younger grandkids are finally at the age to help . Them older 8 are always too busy
You are so creative Laura! thank you so much for the wonderful ideas! I'll be sure to make these with my grandbabes!! Blessings to you and your family!
Thank you so much for posting this video! My daughter and I feed the birds and we are definitely going to make some of these treats for them! We appreciate your great ideas. Thank you!
Iam beyond speachless!!!!! This is so Amazing!!! 😃😃 Never seen something so nice and cool..... Very cute!!!! ❤️❤️ I promise I will do it for my bird friends outside 😊 Thank you so much !!! 🙏
I love the apple and orange garland! Omg the decorated tree!! I want to make one this week! It’s so cold right now so we put towels and blankets outside for them. U
Thanks for this video! I love feeding the birds especially in the winter/colder months. Birds are so fun to watch. When you feed them on a regular basis, you’ll notice returning birds. And then they bring their significant other and offspring. It’s really quite fun! Tfs such good ideas! God bless. ❤️💜💚
Everything I put outside for the birds has to be squirrel proof. They even chew at the metal on the squirrel proof feeder which really does a good job. I feed the birds year round. Love the cardinals best. You had some good ideas though.
Moiseechen there is a brand of bird food on the market that has some type of hot sauce. The birds can tolerate it but apparently squirrels don’t like it. I’m sure you can find some recipes on the internet.
A good way to keep them off feeders is to have an area lower and els where that you put feed out for the squirrels. If you feed them they wont be as likely to destroy your feeders
You are brilliant! Love these ideas I really appreciate the tabs along the bottom of the screen! I've never seen that before! Thanks for all your hard work.
I know that feeling . But the squirrels are so entertaining . And most clever how they find a way to get to the feeders . Amazing little critters 😂 l have put feeders out just for them . Dryed feed corn cob's hanging a distance away from the other feeders . Helps some
A bird's best friend...I was just saying to myself yesterday as I was sitting in my car warming it up to go to work I seen some birds and thought about how they looked hungry and probably wished they had food to eat...I thought what could I feed them...this gave me a few ideals thanks for sharing....
I feed a lot of wild birds in my back yard. Your YT is probably the best I've seen for making seed "feeders" for the birds. So happy to have stumbled on here! Thank you.
I remember seeing a bird feeder years ago that was simply a "higher-than-me" metal pole stuck deep enough into the ground to keep it steady...had a large flat dish sitting on the top of it...and about 2/3rds of the way up that pole was a much larger flat dish that the pole had gone through: and this dish's underside was smeared with vaseline so the squirrels couldn't get to any food in the top dish. I think anyone with some imagination could figure out how to make this, and it just might work in keeping pesky squirrels away. 😄 Anyway, it's just an idea. 💖
The squirrels are frustrating little critters. Unfortunately the Vaseline isn’t a great idea. Often the birds will hold onto the pole with Vaseline and it could make it difficult for them to fly. A baffle can be made by looking on UA-cam or bought at several feed stores. 😊
Kudos to Garden Answer! This video truly reflects a very gifted person. A breath of fresh air from the overload of poor content on UA-cam. Keep up the good work!
I like squirrels better than birds even, so no problem! Really, I put out feed to attract the critters for my indoor-only kitty's viewing pleasure. Everyone is happy!
~So inspiring!! I’d love to know if you have a preference on bird seed? I’ve actually never bought it before! Also would love to know if there’s a way to deter the squirrels or do we just let the love go round?! 😂💖✨💫
You can use old corn cobs to feed squirrels but if you let them get the bird seed won't be any left for the birds. My neighbor has that problem so she just started feeding the squirrel walnuts 😂 but those go fast. So I suggest old corn cobs. You can nail it to the tree
@@tiffanyholmes8155 yes did that too! First got sacks n sacks of peanuts ,then walnuts the rascals gorged on the seed first then carried the nuts away happily 😂

I love how kind you are to wildlife and all the cute strays that come your way.👍
thanks a lot for caring for these little creatures, really impressed, you are such a kind woman, please continue doing this
That was so lovely to watch. Now I know one of the many reasons I find your videos so soothing and calming. You have the innate ability to convey the feeling of Home. Thank you!
These are fantastic. I have made the clay pot feeder and will make the others. Thx, Laura. I wish you were my neighbor.

Yep the birdies need food too. What an outstanding way to feed them all winter long.
My squirrels would be watching and waiting for you to walk away!!
I'm so glad that this video popped up. Thank you Laura for sharing such great ideas to feed our little winged friends.

Stunning looking, the birds are full in winter, and no plastic ornaments used to choke the wild life.. Wonderful!!
Well, that's the cutest, sweetest thing ever. Nice work.
Great ideas for kid projects!!
I think I say it every time. I love these videos. I forget some of the older videos. What great ideas. These are great with kids too.
A surprise for my backyard buddies. Thank you for sharing this.
That was so cute! The birds were so Thankful!
I love it! I wished we could see the birds enjoying their Christmas tree 🎄. 👏🏽🕊️
Bless you and thank you for thinking of the animals. ❤️

Bless your heart! Lovely!
I will be doing these with the grandkids. Great idea thanks and have a blessed day.

Better yet , text this to your text messaging . My messages to myself are numerous
This is one of my favorite videos. I've watched it several times and have been preparing to put out birdseed.💜
The birds must love your food. They are so lucky to have someone who cares for their welfare.

That’s a fantastic idea! I think all of the animals in the neighborhood love to go to her house 🤗

i just love all these ideas and cant wait to try them myself for all the birds that come into my yard.
Oh eem gee Laura!! You are awesome. My heart is full and I am so thankful I found you. ❤
Everyone is laughing at me when i feed the birds & and when i see someone doing it, it make me cry...weird
Nice vid!
Love this idea. My yard looks like an Alfred Hitchcock movie all winter long.
You are so creative Laura! thank you so much for the wonderful ideas! I'll be sure to make these with my grandbabes!! Blessings to you and your family!

Now I call that upscale bird feeding. What great ideas you have Laura and actually so decorative. What bird wouldn’t want to eat at your house🤗
Great ideas. Looks so festive. Great time to do these projects for my fine feathered fruends.Thanks😳🐦
I wanna be a bird living in your area. How wonderful and pretty way to feed those lovely birds💞🐦
Everything I put outside for the birds has to be squirrel proof. They even chew at the metal on the squirrel proof feeder which really does a good job. I feed the birds year round. Love the cardinals best. You had some good ideas though.
I have the same problem. What's your best way to keep the squirrels away from the bird food?
Gab The Chef I bought a squirrel proof feeder at Lowe’s and it seems to work.
Jane Woodhouse would adding a hot sauce\capsacin deter squrrels (but not birdies)?
Moiseechen there is a brand of bird food on the market that has some type of hot sauce. The birds can tolerate it but apparently squirrels don’t like it. I’m sure you can find some recipes on the internet.
A good way to keep them off feeders is to have an area lower and els where that you put feed out for the squirrels. If you feed them they wont be as likely to destroy your feeders
Could listen to you all day so soothing
That's like making suet. I guess you could make squares of it and place it in a holder.
You are brilliant!
Love these ideas
I really appreciate the tabs along the bottom of the screen! I've never seen that before!
Thanks for all your hard work.
💚💜💛🎄🎁💗 Christmas feast for the little ones.
What a creative woman you are Laura ❤️🐦🍊🍎. Thanks and blessings 😘💕
You’re so so talented!!🥰
Thanks for this video. My grandkids and I will have some fun helping to feed the birds this winter!!
Definitely have to try one of these this year. 🧡
I made a tree like that when I was younger and gave it to a bird-loving friend for XMas. She loved it!
All really great ideas. I'd love to try, especially the flower pot & bird one but the squirrels destroy everything
And the deer... 🦌

Love all these ideas. My question is how to keep squirrels away fro devouring every seed of bird seed. Also Raccoons
You can use old corn cobs to feed squirrels. Nail it to the tree or you can buy a squirrel feeder. Or walnuts but those go fast.
So happy to find this again, husband bought giant bag of bird feed. Making all of these for or bird area. Thank you so much!!
Madame Dennis, look at bird bath
Lol. as I well sunshine. Merry Christmas. 🎄🐦
❣️❄️🦜 Awesome ideas for our little feathered friends. At my house, 🐿 too!!!
Creative! And pleasant to look at against the winter background. Thank you for thinking about the birds during the cold.
These will make great Christmas gifts! Especially the bunt cake. Will Repels All keep the squirrels away?
why do so many people hate squirrels ?? they get hungry too, I leave areas just for Peanuts then they leave the rest alone.
This is the most interesting, lovely and awesome video i have ever seen on UA-cam. Congratulations, you must be a very nice person!. 💖💖💖💖
Birdseed wreath is cute add some cranberries to bottom
After seeing this whole display, I wish I were a bird right now! 😀
Great ideas Laura and they look so pretty too!
Jealous much!😅🐦🐦

wow this is a wonderful idea for a true Christmas tree for the birds beautiful thanks for sharing
Curious, why oranges? Do they eat those or is it just for decoration?
Baltimore Orioles like oranges!🍊
Brilliant ideas and thanks for sharing,I'll certainly be using at least one of these..
We love to feed and see the birds thrive and then go and have a Chicken dinner.
Only saying,I did the same for 51 years.
👍
Deer come to things too so I would ditch the stings so the deer aren’t eating stings.
You can use coconut husk string which will just be a fibre in the deers stomach..they eat way more fibrous things, and are equipped to deal with it.
Mog-Gyver O'Neill that’s a good idea!
So bright and cheerful! Birds must be so happy
Should birds be eating corn syrup and flour.
How very beautiful your gifts to the birds are! What a beautiful person you are for taking the time, effort, and money. God bless you!!!
