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.
