Each year in Winter we have been feeding our local wild birds - by local I mean the ones that visit our garden. We made pinecone feeders the first year. Last year we made bird cake and hung it in bags, but this year I was inspired by something that I saw on Pinterest here: http://pinterest.com/pin/118534946/ . It was really easy to do and instead of using straws to make holes I just used the end of a wooden spoon. We hung them up using some hemp twine from Trade Aid. They look nice on the bare Winter branches, a bit like decorations.
No birds have taken advantage of the free food yet, but just like previous years I know that once they find it it won't take long till it's all gone.
Awesome - what a great idea, and they look so pretty too! Your hyperlinks are working perfectly :) xx
ReplyDeleteLove the winter decorations. And thanks for the reminder to fill the bird feeder up!
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute, I bet the birds loved them too!
ReplyDeleteHi could you tell me the recipe you used for these. The link to the pin appears to have gone. I am wanting to make these with our music group and have seen a few recipes but almost all have then had lots of comments of failures...but yours look great!
ReplyDeleteHi Hannah,
DeleteI just used bird seed and a plastic container of beef dripping from the supermarket. They didn't last too long on the tree though, I think I've had more success with the pinecone feeders. Good luck1
