Attracting Wild Birds in Your Backyard

Have you ever considered buying a bird feeder to attract wild birds in your backyard? How much are you willing to pay for it? $30? $50? More? Can you imagine that for $50 you could potentially build ten or even more bird feeders? Just think about the number of birds you can actually charm with ten feeders rather than just one.

There are numerous great and impressive yard bird products available today. However to tell the truth, birds basically care about the food or the feeder itself, not the wrapper.

While creating a feeding location, you could invest hundreds of dollars for some bird feeders, birdbaths, and birdhouses. Creating your own bird feeders, birdbaths, birdhouses, as well as bird foods will save you lots of money. You may also build a big bird feeding station that will attract a lot more wild birds.

I have treasured bird watching in my backyard or in the wild for quite some time. My first bird feeder was of an Opus design. This plastic-type lantern molded feeder sat on a hollow, steel pole that stuck in the ground. It was not long before squirrels had chewed on one side, doing deadly damage to my feeder.

Given that I wanted to attract lots of wild birds I would buy cheap feeders. Silly me! Most of them were destroyed by wild animals.

I finally decided to build my own bird feeders. I was not very pleased with my first do-it-yourself beeder project. It was a log type bird feeder and after I completed my project, I was thinking that it did not really appear to be a bird feeder. I was wondering what kind of birds this feeder was going to appeal to. I put it up in my backyard and, I am happy to report that within half an hour I was watching my first visitor feeding, a cardinal. Wow! I was very thrilled.

From that day, I have built many different types of bird feeders from high quality woodworking plans and I have to say that I am very satisfied with my end products as well as my wild bird watching. But I will never forget that first visitor feeding from my not so good looking feeder I had just made. It was just awesome! For great results on any of your woodworking projects remember to always use high quality woodworking plans.
