Simple bird feeder

“I don't want to go to the garden!” The son whispered. Short pause (to draw more air into the lungs). Suddenly - instead of the usual morning cry and hysteria - the baby wept bitterly. For a second I was transported to his place and felt how bad and scary he was. I don’t know who I comforted, myself or the child, when I said: “Do you want to tell you a secret?” Huge walnut tears stopped dripping on pajamas. Yeah, I got interested ... A lot of birds live in your kindergarten, ”I began confidently. There was no definite plan, I just took time. Now it’s getting colder every day, and the birds need to eat as much as possible so as not to freeze. The son listened carefully, which means he calmed down. We begin to dress. The main thing is not to be silent, to chatter, so that you don’t think about your bitter share again. Birds eating mountain ash? ”The child suggested. Sure! Do you know what birds love the most?

We put the second box ("roof") on its side and cut its sides in the middle in the following sequence: long side, short, then long again. Here is the result:
If the boxes are of different sizes, the “roof” can be cut out the bottom side, as can be seen in the photo:
3. In four places we fasten the box with a stapler. If it is not at hand, you can use wire, thread.
4. The final touches. Drainage - or four holes in the "bottom" of the feeder (we make them from the inside). Fasteners - or four holes along the edges in the upper rectangle of the "roof".
Result!
