Far Out Feeders Gallery

Far Out Feeders Gallery

Just like some people like to eat in a kitchen, others prefer a more formal dining room setting. Birds also have preferences about where and how they eat.

If you have a bird feeder, you might know that certain feeders attract certain types of birds. Some like to eat from a feeder hanging from a tree. Some like to eat from feeders attached to tree trunks. And, some birds like to eat from flat surfaces close to the ground.

Now, let’s get creative about how we can feed our feathered friends!

Can you make a bird feeder out of some unusual or recycled items? How about using a bottle and coat hangers to make a feeder for humming birds?
