One of my earliest happy memories is visiting my Grandmother, who had a beautifully planned garden, and in which the pride of place went to the bird feeder.

This was where birds of all shapes and sizes and hues would congregate through the day, and I would spend hours watching them, perched on my Grandma’s lap, munching on chocolate cookies and drinking my glass of milk.

I too have a bird feeder in my garden, where birds of all kinds come to eat, which my grandchildren love to come and watch.

Bird feeder plans

There are many types of bird feeders available in the market today for a price, but how about making the construction of a bird feeder into a family project, which involves your kids or grand kids?

Hexagonal Bird Feeder: Take this simple plan, for one: cut pieces of wood into 9inch lengths, and assemble them together into a hexagonal shape. Cut a screen into a hexagonal shape, measuring the same dimensions as the strips of wood would when nailed together, and stick both together.

When assembled, the screen at the bottom will drain away the rain water, and help keep the bird seed dry. Mount it and place it in the garden, and watch the birds arrive!

If you are interested to welcome birds into your garden, place the bird feeder in your garden.

Bird feeder is one type of arrangement or equipment, which is used to place food for the birds. There are various types of bird feeders available in the market.

Afford them if you like to have ready-made bird feeder or else you can make your unique bird feeder in order to attain different look from the other bird feeders.

Birds will not come into your garden when you place the bird feeder for the first time. Birds require time to identify or recognize the source of food. Placement of the bird feeder is the essential aspect.

Try to place the bird feeder at certain height so that it will be visible for the birds. Don’t place the bird feeder in some crowded places. Birds don’t prefer the places where there are lots of people because they feel to have privacy while eating.

The food which you keep in the bird feeders is also an important thing. Birds don’t like to eat the same food for long period of time. So change the grains which you are offering for the birds at regular intervals of time.
