We have rounded up some really great DIY Bird Feeder Crafts that we think you are going to love. Gather the kids around and make these fun projects. Then you can watch as the birds flock to your feeders. How many different kinds can you count?
Remember that once you start feeding the birds, they may come to rely on that food (especially in colder months). Maybe you could make it a fun family activity to check the feeders and refill them a few times a week!
