Instruction
1. You will need a three-liter or 5 liter plastic bottle which has rounded shape. In the top part of a bottle make a stationery knife an opening which has to be several centimeters less than diameter of a liter bottle. Such opening will not allow further a bottle to slip down.
2. Take a marker and draw bottles on each side two big circles which have to be located opposite to each other. Make openings on the drawn marking, in them and birds will fly. Leave from below small protective sides thanks to which wind will not blow sterns from a bottle. Do not throw out the cut-off circle, it will serve as a peculiar saucer.
3. Fix a saucer from plastic at the bottom of a big bottle by means of glue or an adhesive tape. Then take a liter plastic bottle, turn a neck down and insert into the top opening made in a big container. Push it down so that between a neck and a self-made saucer there was a gap in couple of centimeters.
4. Fasten connection of two bottles with an adhesive tape. Thus the design will not move and will not break even under the influence of strong wind. Also the adhesive tape will not allow moisture to get to moisture to cracks between bottles and will not wet sterns.
5. In the top part of a liter bottle (sideways) make a small opening, through it you further and you will fill up a forage. It can be sunflower seeds, grain crumbs or millet. The feeding trough is ready, it was necessary only to find the suitable place and to fix it by means of a wire to a tree trunk.
