Remember last week, when I attempted the Tampon Bird Feeder but failed to consider its absorbency in the rain? Well, I’m not one to give up on a good idea, so I’ve made a few changes.
The Idea: This bird feeder just screams “Eco-Friendly”! Not only are you feeding the birds, but when the seeds are gone they can use the cotton for their nests!
What you’ll need:
Peanut butter
Bird seed
1 Tampon (not 15, that was waaay too many)
Knife
Forgiving neighbors
Breakfast of champions?
Step 1:Remove the tampon from its applicator. Remember, this is NOT a recycling project, use an unused tampon. I cannot stress this enough!
Step 2: Smear the peanut butter wherever you want the seeds to stick. I found that chunky peanut butter is a bitch to work with.
Step 3: Roll the tampon in the birdseed. I prefer to use the “No-Mess” seeds because the last thing you want under a hanging tampon is a mess.
Step 4: And here’s the big change…hang the feeder under an umbrella! It’ll stay dry and unexpanded for days!
*Idea: Hang one on every umbrella rib. Just imagine you and your guests dining under a canopy of tampon bird feeders!
Happy bird watching!
