11 Homemade Bird Feeders for Your Back Yard

April 12, 2014 by AllFreeKidsCrafts

11 Homemade Bird FeedersHearing singing birds in the trees is the number one sign that spring has officially arrived. Once the snow melts and the trees begin to wake from their winter slumber, birds begin to flock back to their favorite spots…but have they made your back yard one of their most frequented destinations?

Make the most of springtime by gathering everyone in the family and combining your efforts to turn your outdoor living space into a bird’s dream vacation spot. With these homemade bird feeders, you’re sure to attract all kinds of colorful birds. Making bird feeders is a truly family-oriented activity, since everyone can find a way to help out. Plus, little ones will love watching the birds come to visit! Whether you’re looking for a simple bird feeder to make or you’re ready to pull out all the stops, those of us at AllFreeKidsCrafts have gathered a DIY bird feeder to suit your needs.

The birds in your back yard are sure to love their homemade treats, so don’t be surprised if you have to replenish your stock! Make these DIY bird feeders again and again to make sure your feathered friends come back all through the summer.

What Should You Put in a Bird Feeder?

According to the Humane Society, you can use sunflower seeds, peanuts, peanut butter, fruit, and cracked corn in your DIY bird feeders in addition to the standard bird seed you can find at home improvement stores. You can even offer nesting materials like yarn or scrap fabric to your feathered friends. Be sure to avoid using bread in your homemade bird feeders, since it has virtually no nutritional value for birds.
