We are very lucky to have lots of wildlife visit us in our garden. And would love many to visit you too! why not have a go at making a bird feeder?
What you will need:
- Empty milk bottle
- Scissors
- Marker pen
- String
- Kebab Sticks/Chop Sticks or similar
- Bird Feed
Step 1
Mark out a square either side of you milk bottle. You can get creative if you would like with other shapes.
Step 2
Cut your shape out. This can be very sharp and tricky to start off, so please ask an adult to help you.
Step 3
Make two holes and push your sticks through. Some birds might appreciate the extra branch.
Step 4
We need to make a little handle to hang it so tie the string around the neck of the bottle, very similar as tying your shoelaces.
Step 5
Screw your top back on and hang your creation on a tree.
Step 6
Fill with food safe for the wildlife.
Now let’s see who visits!
Can you make a tally sheet to keep track? Experiment with different shapes and safe foods? What about placing them in different areas? Which one do they prefer?
