How

to do it

parents_birdhouse1. Rinse the beverage box properly. With a knife or scissors, make a hole in the front side (it may be smaller than in the top picture, so that the contents of the feeder will be better protected from snow or rain).

2. Paint the surface of the box with paint at will. Allow to dry well.Under the entrance hole and at the same height on the back of the box, make a hole for the perch.

3. Break or cut straight twigs with gardening scissors into equally long pieces and glue them side by side on the oblique surface of the box. When you have finished the 'canopy', decorate the box according to your own imagination – you can glue decorations or paint petticopods, birds, etc..

4. Through the prepared hole, pass through the long twig like a perch, in front it does not want to extend at least 5 cm outwards. To the top of the box, fasten the wire or string for hanging, fill with a suitable mixture of roses and hurrah with a feeder for the garden or balcony.
