They’ve been with us during spring and summer, giving us the joy of their songs, making our days more cheerful and less stressful. But now with winter coming, their song is slowly quieting down and they start their fight for survival.
We often neglect those wonderful creatures during the winter months, and yes, we are talking about the wild birds. Now we encourage you to find it in your hearts to repay the gift of their songs at least in a small way. By making some of these top 10 DIY bird feeders, you can help the birds get trough the winter and at the same time help the environment by using recyclable materials.

Wine Bottle Bird Feeder
Wine bottles are a nuisance as a waste material for those of us that frequently enjoy a glass (or few) in the evening. On the other hand, they are perfect for purposes just like this. So, make sure you don’t bottle it, and let those birdies grab a peck.

And if that hummingbird don’t sing, it’s probably because it’s hungry or dehydrated. Luckily, a solution is at hand. Or in this case, at beak. They may be small and with a shorter attention span than a politician after an election, but you can be sure they’ll be grateful.
Acorn Bird Feeder Tutorial
Yes, it’s true that acorns are known as the preferred dietary staple for wild boars (apart for being the seeds oaks sprout from). Nevertheless, they also have a special place in the hearts of birds, and their size means that you could use a bigger mesh.
