Fall is here and pumpkins are everywhere! With rain coming our way, what is a fun project – we love the idea of a pumpkin bird feeder. Here is what you can do as a family that will make a nice outdoor decoration…
Go to any local grocery store or nursery and pick up a small pumpkin (3-5 lbs.)
- Buy regular bird seeds/supplement at a local pet store
- Cut a 3- to 5- pound pumpkin in half
- Scoop out the seeds, but leave a ½-inch thick wall
- Cut a ½-inch-deep groove in the rim for pumpkin seeds
- For perches, poke holes and insert twigs from your yard
- To hang, knot two lengths of twine together in the center; tack knot to feeder bottom
- Fill with birdseed
- Hang anywhere from your porch to a tree in your front yard and enjoy!
