Earth Day Craft: Turn a Bottle into a Bird Feeder
Today is Earth Day, and the focus this year is on trying to reduce single-use plastic. Obviously it’s best to avoid buying plastic things in the first place, but most of us still sometimes do. The video at the top shows how to turn a plastic bottle into a bird feeder, created by the Natural History Museum. I’m going to have a go at crafting one myself today from the empty squash bottle you can see in the photo on right.
- Plastic bottle (with cap)
- A stick (or two)
- A pin
- Scissors
- String
- Clean the bottle and unscrew the cap off.
- Punch several small holes in the bottle’s bottom with the pin.
- Punch two level pin-holes on opposite sides of the bottle, near the base, then widen these slightly with scissors.
- Push a stick through the holes, leaving enough poking out for birds to perch on.
- Cut small holes a little way above the perches for the birds to reach the seed.
- If the bottle is big enough you can make another set of perches and holes.
- Punch two pin-holes on opposite sides of the bottle’s neck and thread string through these to hang it from.
- Fill the bottle with a bird food and screw the cap back on.
- Hang the feeder outdoors in a sheltered place.
