10 Amazing DIY Bird Feeders Ideas

Every winter, at my daycare, I make handmade bird feeders to hang from our trees and place around our gardens. Since I aim to keep things as simple as possible around here, the components of our feeders are always sourced from everyday items found in households.

The hooligans usually like the process, and they are so happy when they see birds and squirrels munching away at the feeders that they created with their very own hands.

Since I adore things that are a little bit different, here are our top recommendations for imaginative DIY bird feeders that any gardener can design for their feathered friends. Even if you have never done it before, making bird feeders is a simple project that brings you closer to nature. All of these have great step-by-step tutorials, and some of them would be fun to make with your family.

DIY Bird Feeders With Fruit and Grain

A bird feeder that contains both fruit and grain is an ideal way to recycle fruit that has been left out for too long. This was gone in no time at all thanks to the birds! – CBC Parents

These fruit and cheerio bird feeders are a fantastic way to use up cereal that has gone stale as well as produce that has passed its peak of freshness. The construction of these feeders helps children develop their fine-motor abilities, and it also provides opportunities for them to learn counting and patterning.

Diy Bird Feeders With Glass Shade

You may create a bird feeder out of glass shades by following the instructions in “The Art of Doing Stuff.” This is a project that has a more modern look to it, and I really enjoy how unique the bird feeders are in comparison to others on the market. These have also been hung using an embroidery hoop in many parts of the world, which is another method we’ve observed. This may have to be added to our list of things “to create”!

Diy Bird Feeders With Glass Bottle

These DIY glass bottle bird feeders may appear store-bought, but they are not! I have featured projects from “The Garden Roof Coop” in the past, so you might be familiar with their work. They provide a great instruction, and you won’t believe how simple it is to follow it! These are my favorites! Wine bottle bird feeders are another kind that we’ve seen around, and they look rather good!
