Swing Seat bird feeder - bird table

Product Information

This idea is quite clever. It’s shaped like an acorn using suet bird seed mold, wooden bowl, and a jute rope. The bowl acts as the top of the acorn, and the mold id fit into the bowl. You can put the jute rope through both the bowl and the mold, and then turn it upside down. Make sure you don’t attract the squirrels with this design though. Since this swing bench in the seat will have a screen (which will keep the seeds dry), we need a rectangle frame to hold the screen in place and to hide the staples. The tray, which is textured to look like wood, means old food can easily be cleared away preventing the spread of disease. The swing seat feeder is made from FSC certified timber and suspended from a natural hanging rope which is knotted inside the arm rests to ensure stability. You can find suet or gelatin recipes for a bird feed online, all you need is a bundt cake pan, and behold! Your very own bird seed wreath is ready to be hanged. Make sure to use fancy laces and ribbons for some extra color.

There are so many ways you can use a plastic bottle to make a bird feeder apart from the ones suggested above. Like this bird feeder, which uses the same kind of bottles and adds a different twist to it. They made it look like a small cottage! You can easily buy a grapevine ball from a shop, and it’s not even expensive. You’ll have to pull some twigs apart to fill it with the suet, and leave it to refrigerate. You can hang it around the garden or balcony with jute or a sisal rope, and it will look completely natural. You can use a dried gourd or an empty coconut shell to make this hanging bird feeder. This is another best out of a waste product which isn’t expensive and reduces your garbage. Drilling holes in the shell will allow you to thread a wire through it and make it easier for hanging. You won't even have to throw the gourd seeds away as the birds will eat them up. You can use mesh bags to hold refrigerated suet balls for the birds. You can readily get mesh bags from a grocery store. You can mold the bird seed suet mixture in spherical balls and put them in the mesh bags.This is a really economic idea, and you don’t even have to create as many bird feeders. You just have to use some balloons, water, and some bright food colors. This will look quite brilliant on the snow canvas in your garden. And don’t worry, the ice doesn’t hurt the birds’ feet, so it’s a safe option. Sculpting clay is quite easy to mold and paint, so you can mix up colors and try different pottery designs for your feeder too. Kids will have a ball working with clay, and will keep themselves busy with pottery inspired bird feeders. Hanging bird feeders are perfect for smaller birds as larger birds will find it harder to balance on them, and they are a great way to introduce children to the delights of feeding birds. Like a cup and saucer, you can also use an old teapot for your winged friends. It can also double as a birdhouse during harsh weathers. Sealing the spout can prevent the bird seed from falling out. Leftover citrus fruit peels can be now used as a bird feeder. When you’re done carving the fruit out for juice, you can use these halved peels to store bird feed. Using woolen yarns to make holders for the bowl will withstand the weight of birds and the feeder itself. You can hang them around your garden or balcony, and it will still look pretty and beautiful.

The cup acts a food holder for the birds, and the saucer acts as a shelter. You can use peppy colors for the feeder by choosing different designs on your ceramic. You can also go one step further and add a cup for water. How about building a bird feeder that reminds you of a spaceship? Or a UFO? It’s an easy craft idea that can add a theme to your bird feeder and make your garden or balcony look futuristic. Use a staple gun to fix the screen in place on the seat rectangle. At this point I suggest you to hammer all the staples to be sure that none of them is protruding. Speaking of thematic and festive designs for suet bird feeders, you should definitely try this bird seed wreath for your door. It can replace your regular blingy green wreath and toy birds with something that’s homemade and organic. And you’ll even get real birds flying around your front door.If you plan on having a more traditional bird feeder in your garden, this Tower Feeder can be your best choice. It’s mostly available in shops, but you can also make it yourself if you wish to cut on your costs. This bird feeder uses a recycled trash can lid and an old partitioned plate. The partitions help you segregate different types of edibles for the birds to feed on, and not only bird seed. Plus, you can use one of the sections for water instead of food. Pretty convenient and space saving. We all have used food tin cans just sitting there in the recyclables bin. So, instead of throwing them away or selling it off to a scrap dealer, you can reuse them as bird feeders.

When most of your old cups have broken off, and their saucers are left obsolete and useless in your kitchen cabinet, don’t throw them out. You can instead use them as simple bird feeders. Using straw or metal hanging baskets to hold the saucer in place with glue, will be a good idea, since you wouldn’t want the saucer to tilt and spill the bird seed. This bird feeder is quite adorable. Using a ceramic or a melamine cup and saucer arrangement as a bird feeder can look really pretty with little birds sitting on it. There are so many wine bottle tutorials showing us the variety of bird feeders we can make. Who knew wine bottles could be so useful, well, other than storing wine. This wine bottle is suspended upside down from a frame, and it looks like the bird seed is pouring out of the bottle. This DIY Homemade Bird Feeder adds an organic and natural look to your bird feeder, quite literally. It uses an old tin can, like the ones we saw above. Make sure to blunt the edges of the metal and fold the lid so the birds won’t be hurt.

Upcycling is always fun. It does your job and saves on money and time. You are essentially recycling while giving upgrading the object’s purpose. And this bird feeder does the job gorgeously. It looks neat and will be a welcome addition to your outdoors.

There’s a bowl each for bird seed and water. So in harsh summers, birds can hydrate themselves easily. The third bowl works as a shelter for these birds. Seems pretty efficient, doesn’t it?

2 People Made This Project!

An all-inclusive food buffet for your feathered friends! Fruits, nuts, grains and all! You can use threads to hand fruit slices - birds prefer apples and oranges - to attract birds. You can also include bird seed coated pine cones and nut threads in the garland. As much as it seems convenient as a bird feed, it also proves to be a very decorative piece for your garden. You might as well end up attracting some squirrels too. It looks just like a birdhouse. You can build this frame yourself using wooden pieces. Or if you have an old birdhouse that has become obsolete, you can cut the entrance part of it, paint it and reuse it. The arch will give an unobstructed view of birds from the other side of the window. This charming bird feeder from Wildlife World in the form of a garden bench will look right at home in any garden providing birds with somewhere to perch as they feed. This simple little crafty idea is really good as a bird feeder. Since the surface of the dish is big enough, a lot of birds can feast from it. Using a disposable paper dish can make your DIY project easy. These tea cups are placed in a saucer normally, and glued neatly. The tea cup will hold the bird seed, and the saucer will act a stand for the birds. The cups are then glued to a rod, buried in the ground. So your cups won’t break if you arrange them this way, and they’ll surely attract a lot of hungry birds too.
