Lazy Man’s Bird Feeder

Lazy Man’s Bird Feeder FARM HOME Miscellaneous I like feeding birds but I don’t like having to refill feeders all the time That’s why I finally got around to copying an idea from a FARM SHOW story 2 years ago Vol 36 No 6 John Dougoveto’s idea was to fill up a large water jug with sunflower seeds and make a perch at one end using a chunk of stiff wire and a couple of radiator hose clamps I hung the feeder under the 3-ft overhang right outside my office window It took a couple days but since the birds started coming there has been a steady stream of them What I like about this feeder is that it holds a lot of seed and it seems there’s a lot less waste because birds hop right inside to grab seeds I bought the 3-gal water jug for $17 online at Amazon com
