Getting A Visit From Your Hospitable Area Fliers
Most children are very fascinated with flying objects such as kites, and to some extent, Superman. This is why I’ve also started my obsession with bird feeders because inviting Superman to the house is out of the question because my husband is an extremely jealous guy.
Bird feeders are also attractive, they come in different shapes and sizes and can be ornamental to the garden, save for the sh** that comes with the birds. I want to tell you how to make a bird feeder so that you and your children can have some wonderful bonding experience.
Making a bird feeder requires you to use different tools and can be built in several ways. The most popular bird feeder, and also the simplest to make is the cone feeder. What you do is get a pine cone and in its slits, you put in peanut butter and bird seeds. Tie a string atop the cone and hang them on the windows. Children can wait around the window until the bird has smelled the feast.
Using a milk carton is another way of making a bird feeder. This is how to make a bird feeder using a carton: Cut a small portion of the carton and staple the top part. Punch a hole on the top and put a string through it so that it can be hanged on the garden through a tree or any plant. You can also paint it along with your kid so that it can enhance both your creativeness. What you do lastly is to put the bird seeds in the holes and wait for the birds to come by. That’s it.
The breakfast feeder is my personal favorite. What you do basically is to get some cookies, probably bake some of your own, place small holes for strings, brush it with margarine and sprinkle over bird seeds and hang it. You can tie it in trees, plants or any area of your home. The problem with this feeder is that it attracts not only the birds but all kinds of cookie-loving animals including humans.
It is not easy to select the best bird feeder if you plan to purchase one because of the many variations that you can choose from. This can however be a bonding activity with your children as you can tag them along with you and let them choose the bird feeder that they like. But if it’s too tacky and you don’t want those odd looking things in the garden or the window, ask for a compromise. However if you select a bird feeder on your own, your children will always like it.
Off the bat, the cutest is the bitten apple with the bird seeds placed on the gap so that it looks like the bird is pecking at the apple. One more design that attracted me is the feeder that has many bird figurines, whenever a lonely bird comes by, it would never feel alone.
