February is National Bird-Feeding Month, a time to celebrate and educate the public on feeding wild birds. Here is a quote taken directly from nationalbirdfeedingmonth.com, “We are reminded every February to take extra care of our feathered friends during this particularly harsh month – and throughout all the cold winter months – to ensure they have everything they need to thrive.

To celebrate the month, I want to share the designs for a DIY birdfeeder. It is a mesh cylindrical feeder that requires minimal tools to build and will hold a variety of foods to attract birds. Compliments of my new friend Orsi, author of the article that accompanies the design plans, here is the website with instructions.
