![]() ![]() We’ve tried making a few different types of bird feeders this winter that pass our tests of being both ec0-friendly and easy. Also, I’m not a super crafty person, so they need to be simple enough for all of us. That way, if the next windstorm blows them away, they aren’t creating litter somewhere. I like our bird feeders to be environmentally-friendly and biodegradable. However, I’m a little picky about which projects we tackle. My children love making homemade bird feeders. We hope these bird feeders make the cold winter days a little easier for these busy birds. My children press up to the windows, delighted to see all those little feathered creatures nibbling away at the treats we’ve made for them. I’m always amazed when we put out seed and the birds just flock to our yard. However, during the winter we fill up our bird feeders and then looking for other ways to offer them some treats. In our yard, we don’t feed the birds during the plentiful summer months. If you don’t feed them regularly, you might not realize just how many birds live near your home. Many of us have birds outside our windows on a daily basis. ![]() Today, we have creative team member Leslie Alvis here, an Ohio homeschooling mom and photographer, sharing four eco-friendly easy bird feeders you can make with your kids. It’s no wonder so many of us love to help feed our feathered friends. Feeding the birds is such a great way to get kids involved with nature and teach our children how to observe and feed wild animals. Did you know that birds, on average, eat between ¼ to ½ of their body weight every day? That’s a lot of calories for a bird to scrounge up every day, especially in the barren winter months. ![]()
