well there's the bird feeder that I built there last year and the only thing that I've
added since then was I just put some of this protective coating that you would use to go on
wires I'll show you that in a minute a little bit better and the only other thing I did was
you see the tape here well I originally had four holes so I only have the two holes and
take a look and see how much of the sunflowers that I use during the winter for the birds is
in here and what was the reason for using this well if I didn't then they'd be kicking it all
off to the side and a lot of it was just going on the ground and of course they eat it off at
the ground as well but when it snows a lot well a lot of it gets buried underneath the snow right
so I do use just the small sunflowers not the big ones if you take a look here it's only the small
black sunflower seeds and I buy two 50-pound bags and that usually lasts me for the winter and then
we'll take a look over here at the suet and this is what I go for raid here and the suet feeder and
I'll show you what I use for suet now I get these at the dollar store for four dollars each for one
of these and they're good to have as well and the birds lovelies and I'll show you the exact well
you get different flavors I'll show you the two flavors as well well I just want to show you first
the loom and this is just plastic loom you would get at most automotive supply places and this is
the one that I originally went with but I am gonna go with a thicker model and this is the one-inch
and it'll raise it a little bit more as well but this is the feeder here if you want to know how
to make a real low-cost feeder that's not made of wood it's not going to deteriorate it doesn't get
plugged up very easy to fill up and this lasts me about a week to feed the birds and I've got
millions of birds around here and I'll put a link down below if you want to make one of these very
inexpensive very low maintenance low cost and then well it comes you got to get a pizza tray for it
and I think it's a good design and for this one here you know for four dollars well there it is
right on the back there's the tag right there four dollars from our dollar store up here these are
terrific and what do I use I'll show you here this is the product here itself I have no affiliation
with products on my channel these guys have follow me a long time know that I'm not selling anything
I'm just showing you what I do and here's the other one here and of course different flavors
right so this one here and this one here the only difference is this one here has got peanuts in it
and it's just well the birds go crazy over this stuff and they're hanging off of there as you
can see in the pictures and they love this and I go through one a week and you know this is $1.00
for me right so I mean I couldn't care less if it cost me 30 bucks for the season right and the
seed for the whole season is about $30 as well I'd pay $15 well I think it's a 40 pound bag or a 50
pound bag as close to it I quite enjoyed feeding birds in the wintertime I think it's a good thing
to do and out of all the birdseed that I've tried over the years the small sunflower seeds are the
best as what I can see and you know it's amazing to watch these birds how they can just you know
pick them up with their beak tear it apart and get to the inside what they want of course you
don't eat the shells on the outside now they're do we right and I mean just for those who don't know
but yeah these guys want to check out building a nice bird feeder for your you know for your birds
this is a very easy one to make and for use that are thinking about feeding birds in the wintertime
well what I like to do is I make sure if I start feeding them in the fall I make sure I feed them
race straight through to the spring but no I do not feed them all year round after the spring
comes I stop feeding again until about the end of September so thanks for joining me here today
