7. Plastic Cup or Container Feeder

Old plastic cups, yogurt containers, or food tubs can be transformed into lightweight, easy-to-handle bird feeders. These are ideal for small or balcony gardens.

Materials Needed:

Instructions:

  1. Clean the container and remove any labels.
  2. Puncture a hole near the bottom for the perch.
  3. Punch two holes near the top for hanging.
