The top of the first bottle needs to be cut off by 2-3 cm.
The second bottle must be placed horizontally and two round holes must be cut out. Both holes must be on one side of the bottle: the first, it must be slightly larger than the diameter of the cut side of the first bottle, must be placed closer to the bottom of the bottle; the second, larger one, must be cut out not far from the neck.
The first bottle, having filled it to the brim with food, must be carefully inserted into the small hole of the second bottle upside down. The bottles must be perpendicular to each other: the first bottle must be placed vertically, the second - horizontally. It is worth noting that only part of the food should pour out of the first bottle into the second, but if it all pours out, then something is done incorrectly.
The larger hole in bottle #2 is intended for birds to land on, so its edges should be sealed with electrical tape.
This type of DIY bird feeder made from a plastic bottle is the best for the following reasons:
Most of the food is protected from contamination and excess moisture, which means it will stay fresh longer.
Birds, due to the peculiarities of food consumption, often spain mobile database part of the feed. Thanks to the bunker feeder, the scattered portion of the feed will be reduced to a minimum.
In case of accidents (feeder falling, rain or snowfall) only part of the food will be spoiled, while the rest of the food will remain intact.
Original winter bird feeder made from plastic bottles
Winter is the time of the most unfavorable conditions for birds: most of the food (which is not very much in the cold anyway) that birds can get is hidden under a thick layer of snow, and strong gusts of wind and snowfalls do not make the task any easier. That is why it is very important to make feeders for the winter period.
However, not every feeder is suitable for the cold period and “winter feeders” have a number of features:
The walls of the feeder should be high enough to protect the feed from strong gusts of wind that could blow it away.
In order to prevent the product from falling from the tree, it is necessary to equip the feeder with a sufficiently strong fastener.
The base of the feeder should be made of a material with high frost and moisture resistance.
To make a suitable feeder you will need 2 bottles of 1.5 liters and one 5-liter bottle:
A large bottle will become the basis for the feeder. On its three sides, it is necessary to cut 3 holes in the shape of the letter "P": 1 large and 2 smaller ones. Bend them upwards to create a canopy. In the lid, it is necessary to make a hole slightly larger than the neck of the small bottle.
The presence of a canopy that protects food from snow.
