Ingredients
– 2 medium-sized apples
– ½ cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
– ½ cup birdseed (mixed varieties for attracting different birds)
– Twine or string (for hanging)
– Knife (for cutting the apples)
– Spoon (for spreading peanut butter)
Instructions
Creating your DIY Apple Bird Feeder is straightforward! Follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Apples: Wash the apples thoroughly to remove any residues.
2. Core Apples: Use a knife to carefully remove the core of each apple, creating a hole large enough to hold twine or string.
3. Spread Peanut Butter: Take a spoon and spread a generous layer of peanut butter around the outside of each apple. Make sure to cover the surface well, as this will help the birdseed stick.
4. Coat with Birdseed: Roll each peanut butter-covered apple in birdseed, ensuring that it’s fully coated. The more birdseed, the better!
5. Insert Twine: Cut a length of twine (about 12-18 inches). Thread it through the core hole of each apple and tie a knot at the end to secure it.
6. Hang the Feeder: Choose a spot in your yard that is visible and safe for birds. Hang the apples from a branch or other suitable area.
7. Monitor & Enjoy: Check the feeder occasionally to see how many birds visit. Refill with peanut butter and birdseed as needed!
These steps will guide you in creating this incredible bird feeder effortlessly, allowing you to invite feathered friends into your backyard.
