Milk Carton Feeder

• 1). Clean out a quart- or half-gallon-sized milk carton with warm water and soap.
  
  
• 2). Punch a hole in the center of the carton's top flap with a hole-punch. Thread a string halfway through the hole. Double-knot the ends of the string to make a handle.
  
  
• 3). Stand the carton upright. Draw a line across the front of the carton 2 to 3 inches from the bottom. Draw a line parallel to the first line that is 2 to 3 inches down from the top of the carton. Cut the space between the two lines out with a pair of scissors.
  
  
• 4). Fill the bottom of the carton with birdseed. Hang the bird feeder in a tree or on a shepherd's hook.
  
  

Water/Milk Jug Feeder

• 1). Cut two holes into the jug on the opposite sides of the handle. Cut the holes 4 to 6 inches in diameter and 2 inches from the bottom and top of the jug with scissors.
  
  
• 2). Take the jug's cap off and set it aside. Punch a small hole just under the spout with scissors. Punch a second small hole parallel to the first hole. Thread a strong piece of string through the holes. Double-knot the ends of the sting to create a handle.
  
  
• 3). Fill the bottom of the jug with birdseed. Wrap the feeder's handle around a tree branch.
  
  

Produce Bag Suet Feeder

• 1). Rinse out the mesh bags that onions or oranges come in under warm water to wash away any pesticides. Let the bag air-dry.
  
  
• 2). Thread a heavy string through two parallel holes in the top of the bag. Knot the ends of the string together to make a handle.
  
  
• 3). Open the bag and place a suet block inside. Hang the suet feeder on a tree branch.
  
  

Pie Pan Feeder

• 1). Clean out an aluminum pie pan with soap and water.
  
  
• 2). Punch four holes evenly spaced around the rim of the pan with a knife. Thread a piece of heavy string through two of the holes that are parallel to one another. Thread a second piece of string through the other two holes. Tie all the ends of the stings together above the center of the pan.
  
  
• 3). Hang the feeder in a tree or from a shepherd's hook in an area that is sheltered from high winds so the pan does not tip over. Fill the pan with birdseed.
