Let’s get started, near the bottom of the bottle, cut a little larger than a quarter size hole into the side of the bottle. Poke a spoon handle through it until it hits the other side of the bottle and cut a small hole there so the handle can go through.
Repeat step 1 higher up on the bottle for the other spoon.
Tie a piece of twine around the neck of the bottle as a hanger for the birdfeeder.
Fill the bottle from the top with the birdseed and hang your feeder outside for the birds to enjoy.
The seeds will fall out onto the spoons as the birds eat. It’s a perfect treat for your backyard birds.
Sit back, relax and watch your lovely feathered friends enjoy their new bird feeder.
