There are few things to consider when looking after Birds this Winter and making sure that you feed them the RIGHT sort of food. If you have the right basics, it is up to you how creative you get with your DIY Bird Feeders. We have a number of “5 minute bird feeder craft” ideas, as well as some more elaborate ones too!

Making birdfeeders is a wonderful way to decorate your backyard but also attract wildlife! You will see that there are lots of ways to make birdfeeders, from using recycled milk jugs to more elaborate teacup and saucer affairs! There is a tutorial for each one!
