Do you like birds? A great DIY to try next is making bird and wildlife feeders. This is a fun way to enjoy nature, right outside your back or front door!
We’ve found you 40 terrific projects, ideal for adults and kids to try. Some kids could even do on their own, with a little supervision. There are great bird and wildlife feeders here that are perfect for teacher Thank You gifts or housewarming gifts, or even winter holiday gifts too.
Remember if you choose to make bird and wildlife feeders, you’ll want to be up to date and aware of what type of birds and wildlife are in your area. Ask your local Audobon Society if you are not sure. Some birds – like the hummingbird for example – need a very specific type of feeder to sustain and keep them happy. So if you want to see these birds, then do make that extra effort to build that certain type of feeder, you’ll be so glad you did!
Bird and wildlife feeders are a fun first woodworking project too, whether you are an adult or a child. Because in part, these are smaller projects. So you can finish them in a couple of hours or a weekend’s time and be happy you’ve got a completed project and see results (birds at the feeder!) from your hard work efforts!
We’ve found projects ideal for both beginners and more advanced DIY-ers, so there is something here for everyone. Do this DIY and keep your backyard wildlife and birds happy! Happy DIY-ing!
