Importance of a Bird Feeding Station

These unique bird feeder ideas are perfect for any backyard bird feeding station because they draw in the birds that add to a healthy backyard ecosystem.

When you have a healthy ecosystem you’re less reliant on pesticides. Instead nature does what it does best to keep itself in check.

Birds are drawn to places that provide nutritious food, fresh water, and comfortability, which is why a bird feeding station is a great way to attract birds. For more information about creating the perfect backyard bird feeding station.

Juice Carton Bird Feeder

Juice carton crafts are always great because juice cartons usually can’t be recycled because of the waxy coating. If we can find ways to repurpose them then it’s much better than throwing them away. With this owl design juice carton bird feeder, you can also use leftover lids that don’t go in the recycling bin too.

DIY Bird Bath

This past month, we took some various dishes and made different DIY Bird bath arrangements. This project is easy to customize with whatever you have around the house. Although it’s an easy project, I’ve listed the step by step directions below.

Supplies needed:

• Various glass or ceramic dishes (plates, cups, bowls)
• Super Glue

Step one- Take Inventory

Before making a bird bath or bird feeder, take inventory of what you have around the house. We found assorted plates, bowls, cups and other glass containers. Lay them out on the table or in a box to go through later.

Step Two- Start Stacking

Try different design ideas, stacking various dishes on each other to see if you like the look. Don’t try to glue anything quite yet.

Step Three- Glue It

Once you’re certain of your bird bath design, you can start the glue process. We used Gorilla Glue (affiliate link) and so far it’s held up pretty good. You can start from the bottom and work you’re way up or vice versa.

Step Four- Complete

And there you have it, your very own custom bird bath to set in your garden! Birds love baths so this a great addition to a bird feeding station!

Cup and Saucer Bird Feeder

We also took various cups and saucers, super glued them for these cool cup and saucer bird feeders. If you don’t have a big enough cup or bowl for the top of your dish stack, you can use a tea cup to make a bird feeder and the birds will still love it!
