Making feeders and baths yourself saves money and helps birds. Plus, it’s a fun project that brings nature closer to your home and heart.
1. Why DIY Matter
Use jars, plastic bottles, wire, bowls, and string. These basic items make great feeders and baths with little to no cost involved.
2. What You'll Need
Poke holes in a bottle cap, fill with sugar water (4:1 ratio), and hang it. That’s it! Birds will visit in no time, and it looks great hanging outside.
3. Simple Feeder Design
Use a shallow bowl on a stand or hang it with rope. Add small pebbles for grip. Keep water fresh and clean to keep hummingbirds happy and healthy.
4. Making a Bird Bath
Rinse your feeder and bath every few days to stop mold and bugs. Clean water and nectar mean more visits from healthy, happy hummingbirds.
5. Keep It Clean
Place feeders near flowers or bushes. Birds love shelter and bright colors, so natural settings bring even more charm to your bird space.
6. Add Natural Touche
Get kids involved in building and hanging your feeders. It’s a hands-on way to teach about nature and responsibility in a super fun way.
