Share Your Bird Feeder Plans
Read what other visitors have to say!

Bird feeder plans can be hard to find. So I decided, “why not ask our ‘handy’ and talented readers if they would share their home-made plans with everyone”. If you fall into this category of backyard bird watcher with a special ability to build a bird feeder, then please consider sharing your knowledge.

Please submit your ideas, even if you wouldn’t consider yourself “handy” or talented, but have come up with an interesting way to feed your feathered friends that works.

Plans for a bird feeder can be simple, or complex. What kind of bird feeder you want for your backyard is up to you. For more help and information on different types of bird feeders go to Wild Bird Feeders: What Types Should Be In Your Garden. You can build a bird feeder that attracts Woodpeckers or create one that the Bluebirds will just love. The choice is yours. You can investigate How to Build a Bird House: The Right Way

Perhaps you would like some help with building your own bird feeder. You have the tools and skills to build something but not the plans. Try this company, Rockler. They offer a book on how to build bird feeders and bird houses. You can order their catalogue free too. (We have generated hundreds of free catalogue orders!)

We have also had some very good feed back from the book which you can order right here. If you order this book and make one of their projects, please consider sending us a picture. We would all love to see some of the creations from the book. You can send them in using the form farther down this page and uploading your photo. It is very simple and thank you in advance!

We are open to all kinds of bird feeder designs, ones that attract a specific type of bird or some like a platform style feeder that will attract a wide variety of species to your yard.

If you want to build your own bird feeder; “how to build it”; is what we want to help you with here, with the assistance of our readers.

    blue jay clipart Do you have a great bird feeder that you made that you think others would enjoy as much as you do?

    blue jay clipart Is it something you conjured up yourself?

A great, simple, home-made feeder, submitted by one of our readers!

Please consider sharing your bird feeder plans here so other backyard birders can enjoy what you are enjoying.

    blue jay clipart Tell us step by step, if you can (or I can help with that after you submit it, not that I’m an expert, far from it, but I will do my best.).

    blue jay clipart Explain what materials you used. If you used plywood, let us know the thickness or if you used a pie plate, let us in on what “yummy” pie was in it first, (you are right, I’m just kidding). But you get the drift. You may think something is obvious, but it’s not always obvious to everyone else.

    blue jay clipart If you have a picture you can share, all the better. You know that old saying “A picture is worth a thousand words” (and that’s a lot!)

Your bird feeder plans do not have to be the best ever, ready to win the grand prize at the county fair! (But we are thinking of a contest and you could be the winner ;))

Share away!

So, if you have a bird feeder plan that you would like to share with us, this is the place to do it!
As soon as you click in the space, the window will expand to give you all the space you need.

Name your bird feeder or give your plan a title. eg."My Experiment" or "Sue's Snacker"
