Thanks for the tips on how to make this birdfeeder! I like how it is easy enough for little kids to help making it. That’s the main reason I want to make one, so that we can have some family bonding time.
Linda @ Mixed Kreations says
Yes including the little ones is great for bonding and family time, and the little ones would have fun!

I love birdfeeders in the yard. First off they look really cool, second they help to keep the birds out of our garden. I especially love hummingbird feeders! When we grew up we lived in a woods, my parents hung all types of bird feeders, I’ll have to look into gifting them one of houses you’ve featured!
Linda @ Mixed Kreations says
I’m sure they would love that Nikki! I love birdhouses and feeders, and I’m slowly getting more hung up around the yard since moving. We hung a hummingbird feeder out the other day and I have one more to put up, and another suet feeder. I just need to get some more birdhouses made and a squirrel feeder.
