Of course you would need two more feeding holes then. But then four birds could eat at a time. I've yet to try feeding the birds here. With all the cats it seems like a bad idea. I've got too many of those in my garden as it is.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-2599215192630134032013-12-10T15:57:31.434+00:002013-12-10T15:57:31.434+00:00Being a DIY person I can only say good work, Mark!...Being a DIY person I can only say good work, Mark! May I give you an advise how to make holes in plastic easy way? Use a nail or similar piece of metal, make it very hot over the flame and punch the holes as you want. The plastic will simply melt into the shape you want.<br />As for the bottom, try to attach some plastic plate and punch a few holes for the grains to come out. Interesting idea, you made us think how to improve it. Maybe I try to make one of my own too.Vesna Marichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12265502263728106716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-54088161058405150532013-12-10T15:54:46.002+00:002013-12-10T15:54:46.002+00:00Very clever - does the food stay in when the feede...Very clever - does the food stay in when the feeder swings about tooSue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-68502153882417692362013-12-10T14:34:02.083+00:002013-12-10T14:34:02.083+00:00Simple ideas are always the best.Simple ideas are always the best.elaine https://www.blogger.com/profile/17075935631756457901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-24204211935695045532013-12-10T12:31:27.660+00:002013-12-10T12:31:27.660+00:00A great idea.

As well as different kinds of seed, I buy suet blocks, so I'm going to have a go at making some of those myself with lard, it might keep costs down a little.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.com
