Feeders

Do you hang bird feeders on your property? and if you hang it, what kind - just a can of food or do you come up with something interesting?

We'll definitely hang it up. My child and I made 2 wooden ones, but he took them to the school garden, and at home there are 4 of ordinary plastic bottles hanging. In winter, we buy fresh pieces of lard for tits as a supplement.

We also used plastic bottles, but not small ones for drinks, but large ones from 5 liters. These can be equipped as a house. Make a cut on the side, for example. Here it is important to hang the feeder so that it hangs steadily and does not fly away from the wind.

In fact, it doesn’t really matter to titmice what they peck from; it’s important to take care that the food we leave for them doesn’t fly away or get wet from rain or snow. We made a house - with a roof and walls. It is optimally convenient for birds not only to eat, but also to hide from the wind, for example.

This year my daughter is old enough to make and hang feeders together :). So far, we have not moved beyond the “classics” in the form of a plastic bottle feeder. But I recently found an idea on the Internet that I really liked, because... it is very simple and can be done together with a child! The feeder is made inside half an orange (the pulp is removed from the core) or an apple.Holes are punched along the edges with an awl, a rope is threaded and the feeder is hung on a branch. A larger feeder-house can be made from a pumpkin!

It’s better to make the feeder out of a cardboard box of a suitable size, and to prevent it from becoming limp from rain and wet snow, paint the roof with oil paint. This feeder will definitely last until spring.

When my daughter was little, they hanged her. And only because she liked it. Now they've removed it. Well, somehow there are a lot of birds on the site, this is not very good. They constantly peck at the berries and shit again... We filmed everything.

No, I don't hang it. So many birds flock to the remains of the grain mixture under the rabbit hutches that everything around is dirty. Do not hang laundry to dry! And in the summer they spoil all the berries. No, let compassionate grandmothers hang these feeders near high-rise buildings, I don’t need this stuff!

We have a lot of snow this year and without feeders it is very difficult for the birds. We hung their plastic bottle feeder on a tree near the entrance. At the bottom there are two windows for birds, and we pour the grains into it through the neck, having first unscrewed the lid.

I'll definitely hang it up. For wild animals and birds, life is already not so easy, let at least something good and stable be with those who find my feeder. I have a feeder made from a 5-liter bottle hanging. It's simple, two fairly large windows and seeds, millet, peeled oats inside. Birds fly every day.The soul rejoices))) True, if precipitation falls, then rain or snow also gets into such a bottle, you have to periodically rake everything out of there, wipe the bottle dry from the inside and fill in a new grain mixture. But this is just a joy for me.

I have the usual two feeders, one of them, of course, I beautifully painted with all sorts of interesting patterns, I needed to hide the shortcomings of the material, and the second looks very strict and ordinary.

My son and I made the simplest feeder from plywood and slats. Well, this is just for the sake of pampering. This year it was removed in the summer. Well, he went to the bathhouse, all the cherries were ripped off.

Now many feeders are made from an ordinary five-liter plastic bottle. Several holes are cut in the lower part so that birds can fly inside and food is poured in. The size of the holes can be adjusted for the size of birds the feeder is made for.
