How To Make A Hanging Deer Feeder
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
My bird feeders allurement Carolina wrens and bristling titmouses—titmice?—but I can't angle to see rodents arrest the seeds. So I devised a adherent feeder. Hang a adapted 2-liter soda canteen amid two copse spaced 16 to 25 anxiety apart, application 16-gauge galvanized-steel wire, two 2-inch No. 6 spiral eyes and one ¼ x 2–inch eyebolt with nuts. Ten 1-foot lengths of ½-inch PVC circuit on the wire, endlessly squirrels as birds branch on pieces of a 20-ounce bottle.
At 1½ inches aloft the 2-liter-jug bottom, use a account knife to cut the berry ports: four triangles with ¾-inch sides. Cut a ¾-inch-long accumbent aperture ½ inch beneath anniversary port. Use snips to cut ¾ x 3–inch L-shaped strips from a 20-ounce canteen bottom. Fit the strips in the slits, biconcave ancillary up. Drill a few 3⁄16-inch arising holes in the 2-liter jug bottom.
Twist a spiral eye into both copse 8 anxiety from the ground, again cilia the wire through one eye. Blanket the wire about itself about 10 times to defended it. Fit the 10 lengths of aqueduct over the wire, cull it close to the additional spiral eye, again blanket it tightly. Drill a aperture through the 2-liter jug cap and attach the eyebolt with two nuts. Hang a abbreviate breadth of wire from the accumbent wire amid amid the pipes, again tie that breadth to the eyebolt, agee the wire about itself to accomplish the connections. Pour seeds through a carry to ample the jug.
Birds adulation it. Squirrels either break at the timberline or circuit off the pipes. They dive but can't anchor the bottle. Suckers!
