5 MINUTE Hanging BIRD FEEDER / PLAY GYM

Make this Bird Feeder in 5 minutes. At the end I show you how I make a little play gym that you can hang near a perch outside the cage for additional play space. This is environmentally friendly way to use those plastic bottles so that we can extend their use, and recycle old toy parts. I think all birds need as much room as you can afford to share with them. Good luck and have fun with it. Disclaimer – Children should not try to make this with out adult supervision with the tools or knives …

    Great idea.. I’ll see if my chickens like it!
    They love mirrors so maybe I’ll hang a little mirror on the side!

    Thank you very much 1boidae.

    I forgot to mention that when I make the play gym I cut out on all four sides so the toys can swing freely. I make sure the bird has plenty of room to get in any out of the playpen.they even make a plastic trim if you really wanted to go all out and put it on the cut edge for comfort to their toes.

    Thanks Kirkygirl

    I did make sure I made two references to useing stainless steal and also I like that paticular bottle because when its new I can put it in the dish washer.

    Nice to see your still out there.
    Thanks for commenting.

    Catherine.

    I feel like I need to make a note here Catherine (sorry).
    Folks, make sure you use stainless steel for two reasons. 1.) It won’t rust, and 2.) the other metal that won’t rust, galvanized steel, can/ will be toxic to whatever flora/fauna are in the area. As well, make sure the bottle is well washed before use.
    But that’s a great idea Catherine! I think I’ll make one for my budgie! :D
