Make Your Own Plastic Bottle Bird Feeder

Bird-watching is an activity that families can enjoy right from their own backyards. As an activity, however, it isn’t much without birds to look at. One of the best ways to attract birds is to put up a bird feeder. Instead of buying one, it’s a lot less expensive and more fun to create one using a plastic bottle.
