It will be a good idea to encourage children to come up with a bird house feeder as a project. What you have here is a way by which you can teach the children about wood works not to mention familiarize them with several bird species. This can become a great bonding activity. When it comes to this bird feeders project, you will need some nails and screws and you will also need some stick glue as well as cedar or plywood cut-outs. In this case, you need a couple of tools as well, you need a hammer, drill, and a saw. Early on, you cannot determine the kind of birds that your bird feeders will attract when you set it up and this is why you should call the project a wild bird feeder. You can be as imaginative as you can be with this sort of thing. Some people like their bird feeders to be simple while some opt to have one with bird baths and nest boxes. If the material that you will use is too thin, it may not stand well against natural elements such as rain and strong winds. Do consider a slating design for the roof of the bird feeder so that the water can simply drizzle down. Your drainage will be in the form of a couple of holes drilled out from the bottom. Use also galvanized screws or nails as this will last longer and will not rust easily. Another thing that can add to the durability of the bird feeder is the stick glue which you should use on all of the panels before you hammer or screw them in place. It is up to you to design the external part of the feeder afterwards. You should know that birds sometimes get discouraged by certain colors. If color is what you want then do consider using light toned lead-free paints. Also, use some linseed oil to coat the bird feeders. This will prevent the wood from drying out. If you will paint the bird feeders, you need not use linseed oil anymore. If you will make use of electrical equipment and sharp objects, be extremely careful. As much as possible, brief everyone with regard to the project’s guidelines. When the bird house feeders have been built, you can set them up in three ways. You can place them near a window or hang them up. It is also a good idea to make a bird feeder pole. The simple project creating a bird house feeder is not only environmental but also economical. As much as possible, provide the birds with a safe environment. Encourage the kids to do a bit of bird watching.
