Birds - very independent creations, and it is impossible to tame a wild bird. But to look after feathery friends quite really: it is worth placing a feeding trough in the convenient location and to bring there kernels or bread.
It is required to you
- The feeding trough can be constructed from
- - tree;
- - packages tetra paks;
- - plastic bottle.
- Fixing of a feeding trough on a tree will require a thin strong cord.
Instruction
1. In order that to make feeding trough, take a plastic bottle from 1.5 liters. Twirl a neck a cover. Pierce with a thick needle a bottle throat in two places and stretch a strong thread or a thin cord through openings. Leave free the ends of a rope, 30-5 cm. In the lower part of vertically located bottle cut out "window" of the size of a palm. Stick its edges with an adhesive tape that birds were not wounded about sharp plastic. Do not throw out excess plastic, and cover with it a bottle bottom in inside. The fact is that grains in a feeding trough will accumulate in "dimples" at the bottom and will become inaccessible for large birds. It will be much simpler to peck food from a flat bottom to birds. Carry a feeding trough to the park and tie threads to a thick branch of a tree. Fill food on a flat bottom of a bottle.
2. The feeding trough can be made also of other materials. Take a paper package from under milk or juice (tetra pak). Its top part has to be hermetically closed therefore use packages of a neck and a cover. In the lower part of a package, leaving 2 cm from a bottom, cut out a window of the size of a palm. Such "entrances" to a feeding trough in a paper package it is possible to make two: so more birds at the same time will be able to peck your treat.
3. It is possible to make also a wooden feeding trough. Take two identical wooden plates: strong, but thin and easy. Instead of a tree it is possible to use sheets of textolite or thick plastic. Drill a drill 4 holes in corners of each leaf, receding from edge of 3 cm Take a rope and insert it into holes. Tie strong knots under each opening: they will hold a feeding trough bottom. Insert the same ropes into openings of the second leaf, previously having knotted on ropes at distance of 20 cm from the lower leaf. Dress "roof" of a feeding trough on knots and again fix material by knots. You watch that you had ends of a rope about 15 cm long these ends tie to a tree on which you want to place a feeding trough. Keep in mind that such lodge for birds unstable, food from it can depart to windy weather.
