How Do You Create A Backyard Bird Sanctuary For Twenty Dollars Or Less?
Creating your very own backyard bird sanctuary is easy! Be wary though, backyard birding can become quite addictive 1. Walmart sells a mini hummingbird feeder for 99 cents and a window hanger for 3.29. Fill the hummingbird feeder with 4 parts water 1 part sugar and a drop of red food coloring. Attach to window 2. Buy a mesh laundry bag and fill it with thistle seed. Thistle seed can be expensive but you can usually buy cheap starter bags for five bucks. Hang on a tree. Thistle seed attracts finches 3. Drill holes in a log and fill holes with peanut butter. This is excellent and attracts all kinds of birds. Be wary tho – it also attracts squirrels and other rodents 4. Check local supermarkets for less than fresh produce offered at a discounted price. Place in bowls outside.
