Birds of a Feather is back with our new blog, Birding and Bonding! Our previous objective remains the same. Our goal is to find all birds that live on Long Island year round. The only rule is that in order to add a bird to our list, we must see it when we are together. That's where the bonding comes in. Life can get so hectic that we sometimes fail to enjoy the more important things. This gives us a wonderful outlet to make sure we take the time.

Of course, Long Island has many migratory birds, as well. We certainly don't want to ignore them. We will blog about them as well. Armed with new cameras and renewed incentive, we look forward to getting back on the birding trail!

First Project - Bottle Feeder

Well everyone we have our first project.  This one is a feeder, actually a 'Bottle Feeder'.  This feeder doesn't require a lot of supplies, so I hope some will be able to put this one together.  Please note in the instructions, it tells you exactly what you will need, with some pictures to help with the assembly.  So, here is the first one, if this one seems too difficult, keep checking back for others that may suit you better.

Keep in mind, that if you have different types of feeders with different foods, you will attract different kinds of birds.  Post a comment if you need me to email the instructions.  Just click on the instructions and it will blow it up so you can read it.

    Tom, there is a dish underneath that the seeds spill over in. Not to worry, we wouldn't tease our feathered friends.

    Very nice. I would like to try and make a bird feeder, but I have a feeling I am going to end up buying one. Thanks, for the information!

    Does this have to be attached to something like a wall or tree? Did you try to make it yet? If it is easy send me the directions. Bev
