DIY bird feeder

Decorate your yard by making do-it-yourself beautiful bird feeder. An important reason for the attractiveness of this design is that it is made of red cedar. Along with weather resistance, cedar is great for open-air construction projects.such as fences, flower boxes and awnings. Dry cedar is a very soft, easy-to-process wood. All parts except the roof ridge are made of 15 cm cedar boards. If you need to use more than one piece, try choose shapes with a good color combination. Making stops for feeding is a special case, so lay out a single blank about 12 cm wide. All parts are small, so try to get around all the nodes.

When you are cutting pieces, make sure that angles combined. You can first make a test fragment from some old boards to see what ultimately works out.

Before making slit cuts on the sides, buy transparent filmwhich you will use front and back, and measure its thickness, which should be approximately 2 - 3 mm. As a rule, the thinner the material, the easier it is to work.

And further, the roof ridge must be large enough to fit any mounting hardware. Loop hooks were used here, one in the center of the upper part of the roof ridge, and the other in the lower part of the gazebo, where this feeder is installed.

Detailed step-by-step instructions can be found on the website. Below are the sizes in inches (1 inch 2.54 cm).

Meaning of Terms

base - base side - side, front - front end, roof - roof perch suppot - support for the perch, roof ridge - roof ridge, feed stop - feed stop; perch - perch

• A small sheet of transparent acrylic plexiglas
• Wood glue
• Screws and nails

Tools

Saw, drill, clamps.

All the main parts needed to make a feeder, shown in the photo on the right. The ends of the structure determine the slope of the roof and must be sawn as follows:

• find the center at the top of the workpiece and mark
• draw a line at an angle of 45 degrees from your mark to the edges of the workpiece
• narrow the ends to the base, make a mark 1.5 cm from the lower edges of the workpiece and draw lines from these marks up and down along the lines of the roof. NOTE. If you want everything to be simple, you can skip narrowing the ends, you get a more traditional-looking feeder.
• After trimming, save the remaining triangular trimming for later use.

The assembly order of this simple but pretty feeder is shown in step-by-step photos. At the expense of the installation. Feeders can be mounted in various ways. Nevertheless, metal pole mounting is really the best wayand it’s not so difficult to do.

Open platform feeder

DIY bird table

Bird table does not have to be unusual or complex - birds are only interested in good nutrition in a safe, protected place.

Use wood that will not split or decompose when it gets wet. Will fit waterproof plywood, 0.5 cm - 1 cm thick. Although any cheap piece of solid wood can serve as a great bird table.

There is no maximum size, but don't make the platform too smallotherwise the birds will quarrel. A rim about 1 cm high around the edge will help keep the feed from being struck or deflated. Leave gaps in the corners to allow water to drain and make cleaning easier.

Sand before assembly to prevent dirt from clogging in the gap. To extend service life, use water based preservative. A few nails or hooks at the edges of the table will be useful for bins or balls of grease. The roof keeps food dry and provides little protection for birds from rain and snow. Some birds can even sleep on a table with a roof. But we must remember that birds are guided mainly by sight; they have practically no scent. Therefore, the roof will obstruct the view.

Open Feeder Drawing

If you plan to do simple bird feederthen an open platform, this is a good solution. You will need only one board with a width of 30 cm and a length of 80 cm or a similar size sheet of moisture-proof plywood 2 cm thick. You will also need a 2-meter galvanized pipe with a flange.

Install the platform in an accessible and easily visible place., First of allso that it is convenient to fill it with food, and so you can see when to do it. Secondlyso that the birds could also see from afar that the treat was prepared for them.

In an open area, install a bird feeder from the side of the house, which is most protected from winter winds.

Each bird species has its own special habits and needs.. The best high-calorie foods for poultry: sunflower seeds, which attract most birds, are an ideal food because of their high fat content, and many birds are attracted to millet, millet, and oats. In winter, it is very useful to add lard and beef fat, only not salty, salty food causes dehydration in birds, which can lead to sad consequences. And best of all, read on the Internet how you can and what you can’t feed the birds in the feeder.

Another example similar bird feeders on a rack. A stand was made using 2 x 1.5 meter posts of 8 x 8 cm and wooden blocks.

The platform is designed to hold 3 feedersand bought in a store for seeds, fat globules and peanuts.

For stability, the rack is reinforced with additional bars, but if you want to make a stationary structure, can also be fastened to a 60 cm square concrete slabso that the drain does not swing in strong winds.

The author developed the rack design based on the materials that he had. The assembly order of the structure is shown in detail in step-by-step photos. The author does not have instructions, but the idea is clear, if you find a strong wooden pole, then it will not be difficult to do something like this.

Feeding rack

You made a feeder, but can not choose a suitable place for installation? Make a portable feeding rack, and install in any convenient place.

What do you need:

• three wooden planks (in this example: 1.60 mx 5 cm x 2 cm)
• center bar
• three screws for attaching strips to the central part
• rope
• three 6 mm pins

Collect these materials, and in two hours you will have an excellent rack for a feeding trough.

1. The idea is this: fasten the three trims with the triangular central part with one screw so that you can rotate the bar slightly. Make the center part a little biggerthan a bracket to hold screws easily. (In this example: a 5 cm wide plank, the central triangle has an edge length of 5.6 cm).
2. Locate the rope and drill four holes, approximately 30 cm below the center element. Make knots at the ends to make the tripod stable.
3. To ensure stability, you can use a rope to place any load on top of the tripod.
4. Easy storage and space saving. When you don't need a tripod: rotate the three slats in parallel, and all this can be stored even in a small pantry or shed.

Bird feeder wall

This is a simple small project that will be interesting to do with your child. The idea is that you fill the holes with a mixture of peanut butter and seeds. For the manufacture of original bird feeders You will need a 23 x 25 cm board, several poles, hooks and a chain.

Cut the board at an angle of 30 degrees to the center so that you can install the roof. The author used several planks laid in the form of tiles. Of course, it turned out beautifully, but you can make a roof in any style, even just fixing a metal strip.

Still need to drill wide openings for feed and small for perches. This can be done in many ways, but it is better to use a stationary drilling machine, so reliable, because to make wide holes with a hand drill is problematic, the main thing is unsafe. By the wayIf there is an electric drill, then any large hole can be made with any small drill. Just put the cork from the wine, put it on the drill, so that the depth of the hole can be adjusted, and then you can cut it out figuratively with a drill.

Saw and glue the poles into the holes.
Screw a couple of hooks into the roof and attach the chain.
Mix some bird and peanut butter, fill the holes and wait for the birds to appear!
That's all. We hope you enjoyed this project.
