Bird Feeder
With a platform for birds that feed on a flat surface and a dowel for those who prefer a more natural "perch," this bird feeder should attract many different birds to your yard.
The roof is removable for easy filling and the sub-base, with screen and drainage holes, will keep the seed from soaking up moisture, which will keep your backyard friends happier and healthier.
Before you get started, please read our info on safety, fasteners and building tips.
*Note: Drill 1/8" pilot holes for all screws
