Birds will usually feed themselves in the wild, but in the colder weather it’s sometimes a good idea to give our feathered friends a little help. Before you throw away your plastic drinks bottles, have a look at this infographic. It shows you how you can use simple items you might already have at home - like bottles, pencils, string and scissors - to create an eco-friendly (and very inexpensive) bird feeder. Parents and teachers can also get the little ones involved in this easy-to-do activity. Kids can not only have fun making the feeder, but enjoy spotting the different kinds of wild birds that could be gathering in the garden as a result! The RSPB provides a handy bird identifier on their website to help you put a name to your winged visitors. Remember to use any of the equipment listed safely, and enjoy welcoming some new presences to your outdoor space!
