1. Create a Sustainable Garden: By repurposing plastic bottles into bird feeders, you are helping to reduce waste and promote sustainability in your garden. This eco-friendly craft project not only gives those plastic bottles a new life, but also provides a safe space for birds to feed, helping to support local wildlife and contribute to the health of your garden ecosystem.
2. Engage with Nature: Building a plastic bottle bird feeder is a wonderful way to connect with nature and observe the beauty of the birds that visit your garden. It allows you and your family to enjoy the sights and sounds of different bird species up close, fostering a sense of appreciation and wonder for the natural world around you. It's a great way to teach children about the importance of caring for the environment and the creatures that share our planet.

I can see this little apple feeders in the trees now. Instead of throwing out those plastic bottles our little feathered friends can have a nice place to get a little snack.

Wouldn't this also be a great bird home? Depending on the size of the bottle this could easily be a bird home with an smaller bottle adjacent being a bird feeder. Shucks have a whole community in the back yard if you like.

This is a great idea. My grand kids and I made a bunch last summer. One pair of birds turned it into a nest so we got to watch baby birds being hatched. I learned that squirrels love the food too so I replaced the rope with 30 pound fishing line. It held the birds just fine but the squirrels couldn't get down it.
