Birds have a hard time in winter. During snowstorms and severe frosts, many birds die from hunger. Tits are especially affected (out of ten tits, only one survives the winter.). How can we help them? Have to do feeders. In our group, we invited parents to participate in stock« Birdie feeder» . One feeder we hung it in the group area, opposite the window, for ease of observation. Many parents supported share and made a variety feeders, hanging them near their houses. But hang there are not enough feeders, you need to fill them daily feed, and in extreme cold weather twice a day. We held a consultation for parents, created a moving folder, where we talked about what is better feed the birds.
"We made feeders,
We opened a canteen!”
It's hard for birds to winter
It's difficult to get food.
Fly up, sparrow,
Fly up, don't be shy!
Pumpkin- the feeder is not durable, but the idea is interesting. Nourishing feeder.
For creating feeders Any material will do.
Publications on the topic:
The kids and I really love watching the birds flying to the site. That's why we decided to take part in the Bird Feeder campaign. Actively.
Winter is coming into its own. These days, it is necessary to remember our feathered friends with kind words and deeds. Now they are coming very hard.
This is our second participation in this event. This year we also plan to take care of wintering birds and observe their lives. Children,.
For several years in a row, November 12 is celebrated in our country as the Day of Meeting of Wintering Birds. From this day on, feeders are hung up and feeding begins.
The children and I often talked about birds and decided to make our own bird feeder. Children took an active part in making the craft.
Everyone knows that winter is not the most favorable time for birds, because it is cold and hungry outside. After talking with children about this topic, we came.
Good evening to everyone who has visited the page! I have long wanted to take part in this event. Winter is a sad time for birds. Very cold.

Problem formulation.
When temperatures drop below freezing and snow falls, most food sources become inaccessible to birds. The insects hid, the ground was covered with snow. Only a few trees have retained fruit on their branches, and some weeds with seeds stick out from under the snow. But this food will quickly run out.
In winter, birds have to spend more strength and energy searching for food. Needless to say, they also require much more energy to stay warm in the winter. There is less food in winter, more energy is required. Imagine that in just one frosty night, birds can spend up to 10% of their body weight to stay warm! And the situation can be tragic if the bird is unable to replenish its reserves during the short winter day. Now remember that severe frosts can last for weeks...
It is especially difficult for small birds; their metabolism is faster than that of large birds, and they require relatively more food. In addition, small birds feed on small food, which is first covered with a layer of snow or ice.
As an example, we can cite the following sad statistics: during an average winter, about 90% of great tits die from cold and hunger. That's why they are the most common visitors to our feeders.
They make it easier for birds to find food, which means that they will spend less energy, which will help them save precious energy.
A lot of different birds flies to the feeder: tits, bullfinches, jays, goldfinches. Larisa Nikolaevna told us about them, we even drew them.

Ecological justification.
To make the feeder, production waste was used - a plastic box and scraps of self-adhesive film. When disposed of, this waste would be burned, and harmful substances that are produced during the combustion of chemicals would be released into the atmosphere. Although my work required very little material, even this can serve as an example of proper (harmless) waste disposal.
In addition, plastic is a very convenient material to work with; it can be easily sawed with a hacksaw and a jigsaw. All work was carried out in a ventilated room, during daylight hours, so energy costs were minimal.

Product testing.
The kids and I fixed the feeder on a tree next to the school and poured in food. From the classroom window I could clearly see the tree on which my feeder hung. It was a windy day, the feeder swayed slightly, and the titmice deftly flew into the “Cafe” and feasted on the treats. Due to the fact that there is a high collar on the sides, snow will not sweep onto the “table”, and you can hang a piece of lard on the hook.
Product analysis.
When I took on the job, I didn’t think about how everything would turn out, how much I needed to do and take into account to make the gift beautiful, reliable and convenient. For a long time I could not decide what shape to make the feeder.
Now I understand that you can make a gift with your own handsNotworse, and even better than in the store, since you take into account all the wishes.
Look around you, how many good deeds await us. Watching birds is very interesting and pleasant, they are so different and funny. By hanging such a feeder under the window, you will not only do a good deed, but also receive great satisfaction.
Hurry up to do good!
My classmates' feeders
Bird feeders in winter help save birds from hunger. However, this is not the only reason why it is worth making them.
The beautiful and original feeders themselves can become a unique decoration for your garden.
And the process of their creation instills in the younger generation a sense of responsibility and care for weak creatures.
In addition, this is invaluable time, which allows parents to spend time with their children with interest and benefit.
Wooden bird feeders
There are several types of feeders that can be made from wood. Firstly, these are feeders that look like a base made of plywood or other similar material with sides around the edges that prevent treats for birds from falling apart.
Most often, such a structure is suspended from a tree branch on thick ropes.
But such a feeder has a number of disadvantages. The most obvious thing is that this design does not in any way protect the food poured into it from precipitation and bad weather. It is also quite light and can move or tip over in the wind.
The second version of wooden feeders looks more like a house and has a roof. In such feeders, the food is reliably protected from bad weather. The base of the structure looks the same as in the first version, only there are supports on it that support the roof.
The roof can be either straight or pitched. Any child can make a straight roof, because essentially it is a rectangular piece of plywood, only slightly larger than the base.
A pitched roof has a slightly more complex design, but it the better that, unlike a straight roof, snow does not accumulate on it and does not have to be cleaned periodically.
There are also original versions of feeders made of wood. For example, a feeder can be made from ordinary logs. To do this you will need a chainsaw, a chisel and a hammer, as well as a chain and rings for hanging.
To begin with, you need to saw off two round pieces of wood on both sides of the future feeder. Then a wedge is cut along the entire log, and longitudinal and transverse cuts are made, not reaching the bark by about 5 centimeters.
This is necessary so that later it will be easier to remove the middle from the workpiece with a chisel. After all the work is done, the previously cut round pieces are nailed on both sides of the feeder.
All that remains is to screw in the rings and attach a chain on which you can hang the feeder.
Feeders made from plastic bottles
Plastic bottles are also used as feeders to feed birds. These can be either 5-6 liter containers or small 1.5-2 liter bottles.
Most often, a plastic bottle is turned into a feeder by cutting out several windows in the body.
Then such feeders are hung horizontally or vertically, depending on the design. For the convenience of the birds, cross perches are installed near the bottom of the feeder.
But sometimes you can find quite original feeders that provide automatic addition of feed. These are the so-called bunker feeders.
Such a feeder can consist of two wooden spoons inserted at an angle into through holes in the bottle. Thus, food from the bottle will gradually pour out onto the spoon.
A bunker feeder can be made from a 2-liter bottle. To do this, just cut the bottle in half, make round holes in the bottom, and turn the top over and place the neck down. The top can be covered with a lid or a disposable plate. You won’t need to add food to this feeder for a long time.
Useful materials for making bird feeders
The simplest feeder you can come up with is a garland of rowan, pine cone or berries. A treat for birds strung on a rope will decorate young trees in the garden. The only disadvantage of such a feeder is that as the food is eaten, the garland loses its appearance.
An interesting solution would be to make a feeder in the form of lumps of grain or seeds. Such decorations can be placed on benches, tables, or simply hung on trees in nets, in which tangerines are usually sold in stores.
They are based on fat or gelatin. The lard is melted and the main food is added to it. Then the finished substance is poured into molds (this can be baking molds or a regular balloon) and placed in a cold place to harden.
The same goes for dissolved gelatin mixed with grain.
If you have coconut shells lying around idle, then they can also be used to make a feeder.
As a result, such a design will be invisible on the tree. Juice or milk boxes are also suitable for making feeders. Their design itself will not differ much from simple feeders made from plastic bottles.
Photos of bird feeder ideas
Birds will love feeders made from bottles, wood, boxes, orange peels, and even completely edible ones.
Simple bird feeder made from a plastic bottle
What do you need
- large plastic bottle.
How to do
Cut a large hole in the top of the bottle. After that, all that remains is to fill it with food and hang it by the handle.
You can also use a smaller bottle. Make two large through holes in it and pass a wooden stick under them. Pass a thread through the lid as shown in the video below and hang the feeder.
Feeder made from a plastic bottle with poured food
What do you need
- Plastic bowl;
- scissors;
- awl;
- plastic bottle;
- small tray;
- bolt with washer and nut;
- bird food;
- wire;
- pliers.
How to do
If the bowl is too tall, trim the edges. Make a hole in the bottom of the bowl and in the lid of the bottle. Make a hole in the tray where the structure will be installed. Connect the lid, bowl and tray as shown in the video.
Cut a small piece above the neck of the bottle so that food can pass through it. Pour it into the bottle and screw on the cap with the attached parts. Screw a wire to the bottom of the bottle and make a hook out of it. Details are in the video.
Turn the feeder over so the bottle is upside down. The food will gradually pour out of it into the bowl. To add food to the bottle, simply open the cap, pour it in and close the container again.
The bottle can be attached to the board to make it even more comfortable for the birds to sit:
And this video shows how to make a similar design from two bottles of different sizes:
Feeder house made from a plastic bottle
What do you need
- plastic bottle;
- jute twine;
- glue;
- scissors;
- braid;
- lace;
- plastic spoons;
- paint and brush;
- glue gun;
- wooden stick;
- wire.
How to do
Cut two windows opposite each other at the bottom of the bottle. Wrap the bottle with twine, attaching it with glue. Glue braid around the windows and lace at the bottom.
Paint the spoons, dry them and glue them to the top of the bottle as shown in the video. Make a hole under the windows and thread a wooden stick through them. Also make two through holes under the bottle cap, thread the wire, twist and hang the feeder.
You can decorate the house in different ways, for example like this:
Popsicle stick bird feeder
What do you need
- Wooden ice cream sticks;
- paint and brush or spray paint;
- scotch;
- glue gun;
- scissors;
- ribbon or yarn.
How to do
Paint the sticks in any colors and dry. Place several sticks on a straight surface to form the bottom of the feeder. For reliability, secure them with tape.
Glue one stick at two edges of the shape opposite each other. Attach another stick at the other edges. Fold a few more rows in the same way. Glue four sticks vertically on the outside.
Then make two pieces for the roof as shown in the video. Separately glue two sticks edge-to-edge and glue the made parts to them. Attach the resulting roof to the vertical supports.
Place three sticks together and glue another one horizontally in the center. Cut the sticks on three sides and glue the part to the bottom of the feeder. Stretch ribbon or yarn under the roof, tie it in a knot and hang the feeder.
You can also build a more durable house from wood. True, you will have to work hard:
Log bird feeder
What do you need
- Saw;
- thick and thin branches;
- drill;
- 2 square pieces of plywood;
- self-tapping screws;
- pruner;
- roofing felt;
- construction stapler.
How to do
Saw off two identical sections and two smaller sections from thick branches. You will also need five short pieces of medium-thick branches.
Drill one hole at a time in the corners of the plywood using a thin drill bit. WITH reverse side Drill thicker with a drill, but not all the way through. Screw thick branches into the corners, one medium one on one side, and two medium ones on each side. Details are shown in the video.
Weave a fence from thin branches around the screwed bases. Cut off the excess with pruning shears. Make holes in the bottom. Attach a second sheet of plywood on top and cover it with roofing felt.
Attach the bottom of the feeder to a long, thick branch and stick it into the ground.

I propose: give the GOC the task of Rem. The construction workshop will donate waste wood materials to schools so that the children can make feeders themselves and hang them around the city. - Alexander 30-01-2014, 01:57
It is necessary to feed the birds, especially in such frost. But we must understand that the birds are alienated from searching for food on their own. Therefore, you need to either alternate or change the location of the feeders. Yes, the feeder should be hung not on the balcony, but somewhere on the street. Not everyone likes to clean their balconies and canopies from bird waste products. By the way, I also feed it myself, but I sprinkle seeds on the way to the garage, where I saw bullfinches, titmice and the ubiquitous sparrows, my daughter can also boast of this that she feeds the birds. Be kind, but in moderation! - urtazym 29-01-2014, 23:25
Is this also made in China? - Moroshko 29-01-2014, 23:14
There is someone to buy food for!!! The woman about whom there was news on the site lives on Lenin Street, 47. She feeds the sparrows on the balcony. She has 80 of them flying in. She herself is on disability, today she asked, maybe someone will buy her millet for her sparrows? Tel. 4-50-72. Call Anna Alexandrovna ZEMLYAKI! DID ANYONE CALL ANNA ALEXANDROVNA ABOUT MILLET FOR BIRDS? - INFINITY 29-01-2014, 23:08
We survived....before, in every house, parents and children made their own feeders, but now laziness is taking its toll....it’s a shame.. - Logician 29-01-2014, 22:12
It’s better to buy food for 300 rubles. And there’s somewhere to put it. - BAROH 29-01-2014, 21:56
everyone makes money as best they can!!! - Moroshko 29-01-2014, 20:58
Because this is also a “stern compartment”, from below, under the ridge of the roof, lard is attached to strong threads or wire hooks - Drugaya 29-01-2014, 20:46
The machines may be in good working order, but there are no teachers who can teach them how to operate them! - Varganova Tatyana 29-01-2014, 20:25
Nowadays in schools they don’t teach anything during labor, only one theory, they don’t work on machines or sewing machines, they don’t do anything. Are the parents blind, or maybe they don’t see that their children are not accustomed to basic labor skills, are they satisfied with this kind of “labor education”? Well, we finally need to be more active and caring about our children and their future, what and who will they get in the future - incompetents, unable to hammer a nail? - Pedant 29-01-2014, 20:19
Why are the ends of the roof not closed? - Varganova Tatyana 29-01-2014, 20:16
The theory is not only in the gymnasium in all schools. Where are we going? Previously, they did a lot of things at work. They trained them to work. - MacoHcTBo 29-01-2014, 19:59
I did it at school. A scoop, all kinds of rolling pins, a barrel for honey. Now I really don’t know what condition the machines are in. The lessons were very interesting - BlueJeans 29-01-2014, 18:43
Children should do this during labor lessons. - qazxswedcvfr 29-01-2014, 17:35
her red price is 60 rubles - lyutik 29-01-2014, 17:33
a bit expensive - Varganova Tatyana 29-01-2014, 17:31
Let's have a trade. Who will offer it cheaper? - Moroshko 29-01-2014, 17:06
1. The feeder must have a roof, otherwise the food may be flooded with rain or covered with snow, and it will become unsuitable for birds. 2. The openings of the feeder should be wide enough so that the bird can easily get in and out of the feeder. Better - “open walls” 3. To make it last for more than one year, make it from wood. The presented feeder is suitable even for timid bullfinches. This season there are many waxwings in the city, which love larger food. Pieces of lard can be attached to the lid on hooks. In a city that is preparing for its anniversary, such feeders will look more aesthetically pleasing. - clover 29-01-2014, 16:54
