3. Wooden Log or Branch Feeder

Using natural wood is an environmentally sustainable way to make bird feeders. Hollowed logs or branches provide a rustic and biodegradable feeding solution.

Materials Needed:

  • Hollow log or large branch
  • Drill for holes
  • Natural rope for hanging
  • Birdseed or suet

Instructions:

  1. Hollow out a section of the log to create a feeding area.
  2. Drill holes for drainage to prevent mold.
  3. Attach rope securely for hanging.
  4. Fill the log with seeds or suet.

Eco-Friendly Tips:

  • Use fallen branches or reclaimed wood instead of cutting live trees.
  • Avoid chemical treatments or varnishes that can harm birds.
  • Ensure the feeder is stable to protect wildlife from injury.
