About this Activity

Invite the Birds!

Maria and Sheila show you how to make simply delicious bird feeders for hanging in your garden in this craft video tutorial.

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