30 bird feeders
« on: December 09, 2011, 05:43:04 am »
I made 30 bird feeders.
someone asked me to made this for our church. (I don't sell them, I just get my materials payed)
they are for the elderly and ill people as a Christmas gift.
so they can enjoy the birds in the garden eating peanut butter  :D

was e great project. my brother in law came to help me quit a few evenings with sanding, gluing and painting.
and also my wife was helping painting.
so actually it's not my project but our project.

So look here to see a few pictures of the process.


seeing this you now know why i asked the gluing painted parts question.
all the Small corners are hard to sand properly.

Nice work, great presentation of pictures. What kind of birds do you get to the feeder?  Pete
I love the smell of saw dust in the morning.

Nice work, great presentation of pictures. What kind of birds do you get to the feeder?  Pete

mostly Tomtits, Great tits, sparrows, blackbirds.
I don't have one here but I guess the Robin will come as well. normally just the smaller birds.
although I have in my front yard a other model hanging on the window frame and there is a Magpie that comes early in the morning when we have the curtains closed....

they like the peanut butter with pieces of peanut in it the best.
make sure you have the label of the jar because the tiny ones go in the jar completely to get to the bottom.

They are great, never ceases to amaze me how generous scrollers are in giving away their work.

A wonderful project for the less fortunate and a great job by you and your 'team'!

That is how I was introduced to scrolling...making feeders for the birds!

I never really wanted to grow up....All I wanted was to be able to reach the cookie jar...and play with my DW 788

Just read this morning that birds love peanut butter and saw a similar feeder made out of plastic. Like yours better and what a great cause you made them for. Where did you get the pattern or did you design it yourself? I would love to make one for my back garden the tits are at present enjoying the berries on the hawthorn, but those will be gone in a while.
