How to Make a Pinecone Bird Feeder

In winter, it can be hard for birds to find enough seeds and bugs to eat. You can help them by making a simple bird feeder.

You need: a large pinecone, a piece of string, peanut butter, a spoon, and a plate of birdseed.

Step 1: Tie the string around the top of the pinecone. Make a loop so you can hang it.

Step 2: Use the spoon to spread peanut butter all over the pinecone. Push it into the spaces between the scales.

Step 3: Roll the pinecone in the birdseed until it is covered.

Step 4: Hang your feeder from a tree branch that you can see from a window.

Step 5: Be patient. It may take a few days for the birds to find their new food.
