How to make Bird Seed Feeder

A short video on how I make a simple bird seed feeder using a plastic funnel, some copper tubing, plastic mesh and, of course, the bird seed mix itself.

Thanks do you have alot of birds in your garden? The grey squirrel comes to my garden alot ! Do you know how to stop that, because you seem like an expert!

@speckytom Well, I've noticed that squirrels can jump a long way and climb almost anything. My solution is to hang the feeder from the upper floor of my house suspended out (using the flag pole idea) about 2 feet from the surface of the wall. I hope you can find some solution for your garden!

That is a brilliant video it helped me alot! Can you tell me what you can use to hang it? Brilliant video can't beleive their is no comments! Thanks

@speckytom Thank you for your comments:) To hang the feeder I used the hole I drilled at the top of the copper pipe. This hole is just big enough for a piece of wire to go through. I hang my feeder away from the wall of my house using a flag pole (the type that projects horizontally from a wall). The piece of wire is attached to the pole using a hose clamp to stop it sliding along the pole. Somehow you have to prevent squirrels from gaining access - they like the seeds too!

I found out the my gran has spikes so I could use them. The flag pole idea was good
