Bird Feeder Plans - 3 Options to Build Easy-to-Make Bird Feeders

!: Bird Feeder Plans - 3 Options to Build Easy-to-Make Bird Feeders

Bird feeders plans are wonderful to help you build your favorite bird feeders. There is nothing like bird feeders to make your garden or backyard come to life and attract many species of birds. There are several different models for you to build if you want to attract specific kinds of birds.

Suet Feeders

This is a great bird feeder to attract bigger birds such as chickadees, cardinals, woodpeckers or blue jays. Suet is actually a piece of animal fat that you put inside a container covered with wire. The holes has to be big enough to allow the birds to pick at the fat. This is great food to feed the birds during the winter months.

Building a suet bird feeder is easy with two small plates of wood attached together with 6 inches long wood sticks, a rope to hang it with and some wire with holes of a half of an inch wrapped around the sticks, creating a caged area on the middle to put the suet.

Hopper Feeders

This is the most often sen bird feeder and it is easy to build one in any version you like. A large platform at the bottom can keep the seeds from falling on the ground and get wasted. The design consist in a little house with walls and a liftable roof for easy refilling. Making small openings allow the seeds to spill slowly onto the bottom tray.

This kind of feeder attract a lot of different variety of birds such as blue jays but also squirrels, especially if they are suspended under a tree. Try to put your feeder in a place where the squirrels cannot access it too easily.

Tube Feeders

The tube feeders you can buy at the stores are made of plastic and will not last very long. Soon the plastic will break with the cold and you will have to get new ones. Building one with wood is a great idea. To do so build a long rectangle box and drill one inch holes all around it. Adding perched under the holes will attract a large variety of small birds that cannot cling as easily as woodpeckers and finches can.

To attract larger birds, attach a bottom tray under the tube to collect the seed to they will land and feed there.

There are many more models you can make yourself for a fraction of the cost of what they sell for in retail stores.

Wild Bird Feeder or Squirrel Feeder?

!: Wild Bird Feeder or Squirrel Feeder?

When you hang a wild bird feeder in your yard you sometimes wonder who you're feeding, the birds or the squirrels! Squirrels are so agile and have a voracious appetite and can empty your feeders before you have a chance to get back to the house after filling them. There is no such thing as a totally squirrel-proof wild bird feeder, but there are a few things you can do to help keep the sunflower seeds for your birds.

Squirrel-Proof Feeders. As I mentioned, there is no such thing as a totally squirrel-proof feeder. They are wily little critters and can get in places you would never imagine that they could. There are feeders, however, that make it a lot more difficult for them. Feeders with cages around them are great for songbirds and to keep squirrels out. The cages are just big enough to allow the smaller birds access and to deter the larger birds and squirrels. There are also feeders that work on a weight deterrent. When a squirrel (or large bird) perches on the feeding bar, the weight closes the feeder. When the weight is removed, the feeder opens again.

By Hook or by Crook. Setting a feeding station up by hanging your wild bird feeder from a shepherd's hook you can deter the squirrels. If they can't climb up the wrought iron to the feeder and can't drop down from a tree, they can't get to the seed. It also gives the birds a view of predators, like cats, to avoid. On the other hand, birds prefer cover and feel safer when there is some foliage to hide in, so judicial placement to keep birds happy and squirrels frustrated.

Can't Beat 'Em, Feed 'Em. Squirrels can be quite a lot of fun to watch when they aren't pilfering your bird feeders. The agility and daring that make them such thieves also can give you an afternoon show of gymnastic daring do. Try setting up a feeder just for them. Use peanuts and corn instead of your expensive bird seed. Who knows, you might end up building a squirrel gym for them like I did.

These are only a sampling of methods to keep the squirrels out of your wild bird feeder. There are a lot of imaginative squirrel-proofing ideas around, but these will get you started and give your songbirds a secure spot for lunch.
