Homemade Bird Feeder

My dogs and I love to watch the birds and squirrels that come to eat at the feeders. I wanted a feeder that would stay dry and would be easy to keep filled and clean. I also wanted it to be visible from my kitchen window. So I came up with a simple and cheap design that is working well.

To make the feeder you need two of the same pie tins and a nail.

Nail one pie tin to a wooden stand or to a porch railing. The porch keeps the seed dry. The top tin that is not nailed down can easily be removed for cleaning and filling.
