    Fantastic! I live in Spain and the only bird feeders available cost about 30 euros each from the garden centre. Now I can make lots of these for the birds nearby, and hope to entice them into my garden more :o)

    They cost around 3-4 EUR on Aliexpress (shipping incl.). But yes, it's better to create one! I'll do the same.

    Great idea! Best way to recycle drinking bottles. One suggestion, glue a small dish underneath to catch any spillage. Don't forget to drill small holes to let rain water flow.

    This is a great idea! I bought a bird feeder at a store. But within a week, squirrels had damaged it, from them trying to chew it open. If squirrels try to destroy this homemade feeder, no big deal. Just go and build a brand new one.

    this looks like a squirrel feeder! If you added one of the plastic round tops that sometimes comes on take-away (at least in the US) above the knot, it will give the squirrels a little more of a challenge.

    This is very easy to make! I used an old, cheap multi tool knife for most of the cutting. Instead of a drawing pin, I used the tip of the corkscrew, and I used a large knife attachment in a twisting motion to enlarge the holes as needed. Instead of poking the lower dowel into the bottle, I super glued it into the bottom. The dowels were 12 inches long, so I cut them down to 9 inches for the perches and glued the remaining pieces to the bottom parallel to the lower perch. This creates a stable bottom when I want to refill the birdseed and utilizes as much of the lower half of the container as possible.

So to all the thumbs down how about you spend more time trying to be a help to others such as this video and keep your negativity to yourself. Don't you have real disturbing videos to troll?

    i find that our birds like free standing feeders the best, so i use long steak sticks in the ground and attach my feeders to the top ,old candle holders work great, i always use clear glass inserts for the candle holders small ones because there is less seed wasted and i can find cute glass containers they perch on top and eat away and you can wash them easy with soap and water and then replace them,

    How did you keep the seeds from falling out of holes for birds to feed? The seeds are in the bottle higher than the holes. I used empty 40 oz peanut butter containers and made the holes large enough for the birds can go inside to eat.
