Step 1 Peel all labels off a two-liter pop bottle and clean thoroughly.

Step 2 Have an adult drill two 1/8" holes in the bottom of the bottle. Thread wire through one hole and out the other. Twist the ends of the wire together to make a loop for hanging the feeder. Use a small piece of duct tape or caulk to seal the holes so rain can't get into the feeder.
Step 3 Drill one 5/16" hole, then drill another 5/16" hole on the opposite side of the bottle. Insert a 5/16" wooden dowel (approximately 8" in length) through the holes. Repeat the procedure so that another perch is added 1/2" above the first (the second perch should cross over the first.)
Step 4 Make 1/4" by 1/8" slots 1 1/2" above the perches.
Step 5 Remove cap from the bottle and fill feeder with 3-D Pet Products® bird food. Replace cap and hang in a location where you can enjoy the variety of birds attracted.
