As it is starting to draw closer to winter and food for wildlife is becoming more scarce, I thought it would be a good time to share this simple, fun activity we did at home recently.
How To Make An Apple Bird Feeder
You Will Need…
- Apple
- Twigs – Thick enough to be a perch but thin enough to fit through an apple.
- String or raffia
- Peanut butter
- Seeds
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Core the apple.
Step 2
Carefully push the sticks through the apple. You might need to use a knife to help make a hole first.
Step 3
Tie the string through the apple. Use it to also hold the sticks in place if possible.
Step 4
Use the peanut butter as ‘glue’ to stick the seeds on.
Step 5
Hang it onto a tree branch. Then just sit back and observe the birds enjoying their treat!
Do you feed the birds in winter? What type of feeder do you have?
