This video shows how to fill a bottle bird feeder using materials on hand.

This is the best feeder around. So convenient to use and the birds just love it. Know how your bird feeders get dingy after a while? Well with this feeder, all you have to do is to replace the soda bottle with a new one and recycle the old! I have 4 of these feeders in my back yard with different types of seed and it is amazing to see all the various birds feeding. I am giving one of these to my bird loving friends for their birthdays.

I had one of these feeders and wanted a couple more. Great that you can recycle a soda bottle in the process of feeing birds.

I bought one of these and liked it so much I ordered 2 more. The feeder fits both the 2 liter soda bottles and the smaller 24 ounce soda bottles they sell in 6 packs. That's one more step the bottles go through before they get recycled. The birds hopped right onto it right after I hung it up and walked away.

Apparently Amazon feels these are toys as I needed to answer questions about these 'toys' to start this review. Hmmm... Anyway, we got 2 of these for my father-in-law. He likes them except for the obvious fact they only feed 2 birds at a time and there is a lot of fighting over the perches. Otherwise, they are well built and seem to work great. The feed 'trouf' stays clean and drains when wet. My brother has had them for years and recommended them to me, he loves them. I would recommend you avoid the plastic ones as they just aren't durable. These should last years making them a value as they needn't be replaced regularly. Also, we put plastic hose over the perches for better grip and maybe the insulating factor. We would recommend these to any bird lover.

Seeds do not come out smoothly, filling is pain in the neck. Thought of it is great, ease of use not so much. Can only tiny seeds not mixtures.

This is a great product to make your own feeder. Feeders are expensive and this is a great way to save money.

I have enjoyed this and it gives me something to do with plastic bottles other than throw them out. I love the way it works and I love the way it looks and it is one more way for me to take care of the wildlife in my area.
