'SHOW AND TELL' How to fIx (and make) a Free Birdseed Feeder,

Very,very clever April...a brilliant bit of re cycling...sure your feathered friends will agree !

cheers, struggled a bit at first, the tops kept on flirtin back inside the bottle, thats when i decided a bit of glue would be a good idea else the bottle top inside the bottle does little else than remind you of a ship in one....

Wonderful Ideas April im sure the Little Birds will lovem :)

Fantastic idea, you should patent it!!

I think maybe coka cola, pepsi, tango, asda, etc...may well have a problem with that idea...lol

wel done...fantastic think i may give it a go

well done you, its easy, and i dont like melting plastics down, i don't like the thought of all the fumes from it. Mrsmelon, wonderful name...

I have just purchased a kit from our garden centre to make a bird feeder from a spent litre bottle of pop, it is meant for children to use, so myself and our grandson made it, he loved doing it, now your idea is different to this one so I think it would sell !

its a good way of getting children involvled. my son Daniel (who is also my carer) said 'its not another of your crazy ideas to sell on the internet is it?'
i just said no, but thought maybe if i made enough i could maybe fill them an sell them cheap on a market stall...lol can tell theres not much money in this house...:)

Daniel might be interested if you sell them and he can become your agent ! Keep up the inventing thats where Trevor Bayliss began ! :o)

ah... you could be right, it's an agent i need. I've had quite a few ideas but don't know how to go about getting them out there and into production :(
another idea i had was a no fix hanging basket or birdfeeder but i'm still working on that one.....and, in a whispered quiet voice...'who's Trevor Bayliss?' excuse my ignorance, my head seems to be full of different stuff to those that know who people are, totally useless with things like gossip columns cos can't ever remember anyones names... keeps me good though, cos it means i can't talk about anyone!....

Sorry April, Trevor Bayliss is the guy who invented the wind up radio in his garden shed !! Such a lovely guy, I have seen various prog. about him a very humble chap.

You have been busy. Im sure the birds will thank you !

I too have seen the plastic bottle kit which is on sale, but it is nowhere near as good as your idea. Well done, April .

Fantastic ideas, April. I think that my children would enjoy making these on a rainy afternoon (so long as I use the knife). :-))

Felinf, you are so right, the bottle kit I purchased was ok. for our young grandson to make and now its hanging on the tree he is non-plussed about it, I agree April's is a good strong design.

yes its good for the children and its a bit like a cross between the game operation and kerplunk when the bottle tops fall inside the bottle, best way of getting them out is with either tweezers or scissors....i've started giving them out to the carers that i have calling, determined to feed as many as i can...not sure some realize how important other species are, afraid i think that the soil that we have around us is more than the percentage vegetation that the so-called experts think it is, i think livestock.....from the tiny fly right thru to the huge big animals go to make up the nutrients in the soil that we make so much use out of....can you tell i'm a veggie as well.....lol x
