Easy Bird Feeder

I've been wanting to make a pine cone (or pie corn as Finley calls them!) bird feeder with Finley for the past few weeks but every time we go out for a walk all I find is soggy, wet pine cones. (Not really a surprise, it's October in the northwest after all.)

I was pretty excited when I found this on Pinterest this morning. Yeah!

Bird seed? Check! Natural peanut butter (only the best for these birdies!)? Check! Paper towel roll? Check! (Well, check after I took all the paper towels off the roll. Note to self - keep the toilet paper and paper towel rolls instead of recycling them!)

Let's get to it...

Slather on that PB!

Do a taste test just to make sure the birds are going to like it.

Roll away...

And roll some more.

The best part? No string required! Just put it right on a tree branch!

Last step, enjoy the fall colors, run around a bit and do some fishing. (In other words, scare the birds away from the cool bird feeder you just made!)
