Recycling couldn’t be more rewarding.
My son made this bird feeder using an old plastic water bottle several weeks ago and although our yard has a huge amount of birds flying in and out not one had taken interest until this morning.
What a thrill it was for Sam to see a bird enjoying the fruits of his labor. Unfortunately a lot of plastic bottles never get recycled. This plastic bottle has been saved from the landfill and been put to good use.
We think it’s a Cassin’s Finch. Not a 100% sure though!
It was thanks to Danielle Brigida from NWF and Anne Keisman at Green Hour a program of the National Wildlife Federation. You guys are doing an amazing job at the NWF.
It’s so much fun, we’re off to make the Humming Bird feeder.

Hey! What great photos — you provided food for wildlife, while recycling and connecting your son with nature. You def. win the Green Hour award today!

Ace idea, and those bird feeders they sell at garden centres etc. are way too expensive anyway!
Totally doing this tomorrow w/ my 3yr old!!
