ok so i think this is the right spot to post this...
i love to build stuff and i love birds. so naturally i like to build bird houses and feeders. i dont build them out of wood though...i build them out of just recycled bottles and containers. recently i have made one out of a plastic plate, lid from and ice cream bucket and a water bottle. i tied the plate above the lid with the bottle in between them holding the plate up. i hung it out thinking it was going work pretty well but then i found out that it sucked. miserably. lol the wind wobbled it and the lid (bottom) kept slanting which made the seeds spill everywhere. i have made others as well and they have worked better but no birds came to those. no birds come to any of my feeders. store bought or homemade! i usually hang them on the gutter above my deck. im getting a bit discouraged and about to give up on birding all together.
ANYWAY.... if you like to make homemade bird houses or feeders i would like to see pictures of them! just for inspiration and just enjoying the craftsmanship and whatnot. i will post my bird feeder that is not in the garbage because there was no hope for it. haha
