Lesson 17

Two for One Birdfeeder

Early we built our feathered friends a home to kick back in after a hard
days work. But what about some food that’s easy to get to and close to
home? I think a birdfeeder is needed. But what do birds eat? Different
birds eat different things. Some eat seeds, insects, fruits, corn, nectar
(from flowers) and suet (fat mixed with seeds, berries, and other
ingredients). So if you want to attract and feed the most birds you need
a feeder that can offer a variety of food. Check out this website to find
out what different birds eat:

Our feeder is designed to use seed, and suet or fruit, etc... It’s easy to
build and shouldn’t take more than a day to complete. Let’s take a closer
look at the design of our birdfeeder.
