Why not Give the Birds a Helping Hand with this Tasty Apple Bird Feeder?

Maria and Sheila demonstrate this in this video tutorial.

As with all bird feeders, hygiene is important. Keep the ground area around your feeder clean in order not to invite rodents to your premises. Particularly important in residential facilities.
