You could make a few of these and try different types of birds seeds. Whether you make your own homemade bird food, or you purchase it, it can be fun to have different ones. You can then see which seed is the most popular in your yard.

Recycling household items, or at least giving them a second use, helps the environment and also our fine feathered friends in the yard. Depending on where you live the winters can be rough for birds.
