Review
"The do-it-yourself projects in this book range from a simple suet holder and a "seed depot" made from a plastic gallon milk jug to a thistle seed dispenser and a bird gazebo that looks as complicated as the full-scale structure.
The book is so clearly illustrated with step-by-step instructions it is ideal for teaching yourself to work on increasingly complicated projects as you learn by doing."

From the Back Cover
Birds bring color and a flurry of activity to your yard. And there's no better way to attract the fluttery feathered creatures than by offering food. Bird Feeders is a collection of 19 attractive designs that are as enjoyable to build as they are to view. Detailed step-by-step instructions describe how to build each of the decorative yet functional, easy-to-make projects. As an added benefit you'll learn how and what to feed backyard birds, and how to keep competitors and predators at bay.
There are feeders with a special purpose, like the Chickadee Feeder. The ingenious Thistle Seed Dispenser provides easy access to the tiny seed delicacy but prevents it from spilling on the ground. Create excitement in your yard with feeders that are just fun to look at and build, like the Cozy Cottage, Pig Bird Feeder, and Hanging Apples. There are both easy projects that are suitable for children, like the Milk Jug Seed Depot, and challenging woodworking endeavors, like Gazebo Rest Stop. You'll find multi-food feeders and even a feeder designed to distract pesky squirrels.
