Don’t toss that old plastic bottle! With a little creativity, you can turn it into a bird feeder that brightens your garden and helps our feathered friends. Turbo says he’d rather keep all the seeds for himself… but sometimes sharing is nice.

Materials

• 1 clean plastic bottle (1–2 litre works best)

• 2 wooden spoons or sturdy sticks (for perches)

• String or wire (to hang)

• Bird seed

• Scissors / craft knife (adult supervision required)

Instructions

• Wash and dry your bottle.

• Cut two small holes near the bottom on opposite sides. Push wooden spoons through so they form perches, with the spoon bowl sticking out to hold seed.

• Cut small seed holes just above the spoons, so food can spill onto them.

• Make a hole at the top and tie string or wire through.

• Fill with bird seed, hang from a tree branch, and watch the birds flock in!

🦆 Turbo’s Tip

“Careful — once the sparrows find it, there won’t be much left for us ducks!”
