Diy Squirrel Proof Bird Feeder

To make a DIY squirrel-proof bird feeder, you will need a few basic materials, such as a plastic bottle, a hanger, and some wire. Start by cutting a hole in the side of the bottle, just large enough for the birds to enter. Then, thread the wire through the hanger and the hole in the bottle. Secure the wire by tying it in a knot on the inside of the bottle.

Next, fill the bottle with birdseed. Screw the cap back on the bottle and hang it from a tree branch or other high location. The squirrels will not be able to climb the wire or reach the birdseed inside the bottle.

Here are some additional tips for making your DIY squirrel-proof bird feeder:

• Use a clear plastic bottle so that you can see when it needs to be refilled.
• Hang the feeder from a branch that is at least 5 feet off the ground and 5 feet away from any other structures. This will make it difficult for squirrels to reach.
• Place the feeder in a sunny spot. Birds are more likely to visit feeders that are located in sunny areas.
• Clean the feeder regularly to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria.

With a little creativity, you can easily make your own squirrel-proof bird feeder. This is a great way to attract birds to your yard and provide them with a safe place to eat.
