5 MINUTE Hanging BIRD FEEDER / PLAY GYM

Make this Bird Feeder in 5 minutes. At the end I show you how I make a little play gym that you can hang near a perch outside the cage for additional play space.

This is environmentally friendly way to use those plastic bottles so that we can extend their use, and recycle old toy parts.

I think all birds need as much room as you can afford to share with them.

Good luck and have fun with it.

Disclaimer - Children should not try to make this with out adult supervision with the tools or knives or scissors.

WOW!!!!! Those were some GREAT ideas....thank you! This is definitely one for the *favorites* bin ;-)

[OverTheRaynbow]

Thank you very much 1boidae.

I forgot to mention that when I make the play gym I cut out on all four sides so the toys can swing freely. I make sure the bird has plenty of room to get in any out of the playpen.they even make a plastic trim if you really wanted to go all out and put it on the cut edge for comfort to their toes.

I feel like I need to make a note here Catherine (sorry).

Folks, make sure you use stainless steel for two reasons. 1.) It won't rust, and 2.) the other metal that won't rust, galvanized steel, can/ will be toxic to whatever flora/fauna are in the area. As well, make sure the bottle is well washed before use.

But that's a great idea Catherine! I think I'll make one for my budgie! :D

Thanks Kirkygirl

I did make sure I made two references to useing stainless steal and also I like that paticular bottle because when its new I can put it in the dish washer.

Nice to see your still out there.

Thanks for commenting.

Catherine.

Please NEVER use a key ring for any bird toy! As we pry it open with our fingers, a bird will pry it open with their beak. That can cause many complications for the bird! Otherwise, it seems like the bird loves it!

Very cute! :)

Great idea.. I'll see if my chickens like it!

They love mirrors so maybe I'll hang a little mirror on the side!
