I grew up with my Dad always keeping bird feeders at the house. There was a hummingbird feeder on the porch, and at least two feeders filled with bird seed hanging from trees in the yard. I love watching them (especially hummingbirds- they’re hilarious), and helping them out- especially in winter. For a fun indoor craft you can do with kids, check out this post by Erica at What We Do All Day for some creative DIY bird feeders:
-Pine cone bird feeder- pour melted suet onto pine cone, hang with yarn or string from tree
-Hanging orange bird feeder- Step 1. Scoop out orange halves. Step 2. Poke 3 equidistant holes. You need at least three holes to keep it from tipping easily. Step 3. Thread string or twine through the holes for hanging. Step 4. Fill with tasty bird treats. We used bird seed and cranberries.
-Paper roll bird feeder- coat a paper towel roll with shortening and roll in bird seed.
