MKid had a school project recently - he had to make a bird house using anything but wood. Apart from my bird feeder bottle, I haven't given any thought to providing them with accomodation :)
So, that got me wondering, and when I wonder, I Google...
This is what I found.
Using a plastic milk bottle...

... here they used biscuits, but what about using a really stale hollowed out loaf of wholewheat bread - that way,the birds can have room service anytime they want :)...

... a hollowed out log of wood - yeah, I know it's out of wood, but it's not a fabricated one.

Anyone got any other idea's?

ReplyDeleteJoyful - They are, aren't they :) Personally, the old shoe is my favourite...
DeleteI like the shoe/boot idea. It is interesting and I wonder if our birds (wild) would like them nests too.

Barb - If hanging a boot in a tree, instead of sending it to landfill, results in a bird making a nest in it, I reckon that it's worth a try :)
