For the Birds

Birds are mysterious creatures. Have you ever just sat and watched them fly around or listened to them sing their beautiful songs? Have you ever wondered how they can fly, or why they fly South for the Winter?

In honor of our fine feathered friends, I thought I would share some bird related resources and craft projects.

Bird Feeders

If you want to attract more birds to your yard, you should try making bird feeders. Different kinds of birds prefer different kinds of feeders and different kinds of seed.

• Cereal Bird Feeder - Very simple craft using donut-shaped cereal and yarn.

• Cookie Cutter Bird Feeder - Another simple craft. This one uses bread, cookie cutters, and yarn.

• Disappearing Bird Feeder - Make a small bird feeder using a bagel.

• Pine Cone Bird Feeder - Use pine cones, peanut butter, margarine, bird seed, and yarn.

Bird Houses

We all know that most birds call a nest home. Although a bird probably wouldn't use a nest you make, you can make them as decorations and keepsakes. I would suggest making bird houses to attract real birds.

• Bird Nest Craft - Use strawberry baskets to weave this nest.
