Beer Bottle Bird Feeder DIY

Hey, don’t toss those empty beer bottles, instead make a beer bottle bird feeder with these easy steps!

I love the color and design of this Michelob bottle so I had Alan convert it into a bird feeder for our backyard.

I need to add some red ribbon to it to attract birds, but besides that, I really like how the beer bottle bird feeder turned out.

There are more tips on how to attract birds to your yard at the end of this article.

BEER BOTTLE BIRD FEEDER DIY

Using your glass cutting drill bit cut two or three holes at the bottom of the beer bottle.

Then, find a saucer that is bigger than the bottle bottom and, using epoxy, adhere the bottle to the saucer. I found the saucer at our local Walmart, but anywhere that sells gardening supplies will, most likely, have a saucer you can use.

Use baling wire, or any other easy to bend wire, wrap the top of the bottle with wire and create a hanger.

Fill with bird feed of choice and you are done.

Hang in nearest tree and enjoy bird watching all summer long.
