One of the kids’ favorite activities is feeding the birds or in many cases the squirrels, who like to steal the bird seed. To make the activity a little more fun and personalized for the kids, we like to make homemade bird feeders. We enjoy making DIY Bird Feeders from toilet paper rolls and peanut butter and decided it was time to branch out and explore other bird feeder options from recyclables.
