How To Make a Bottle Bird Feeder

Now that we are well and truly in the grip of the colder months, it’s a great time to help out wildlife in your garden with food and shelter. As the weather gets colder, birds especially have to burn more energy to keep their tiny bodies warm, and so have to find more and more food to replace this. Any help you can provide with feeders or bird tables goes a very long way. If you don’t have a specialised bird feeder, don’t worry! Sainsbury’s Bank’s Money Matters blog have put together this great little DIY project to put together a simple bottle bird feeder using nothing but household items.

This is a great way to provide birds with loose seed, but don’t forget as well that fat balls are also an easy way to provide birds with high energy winter food! Take a look at our simple recipe guide
