Maybe if your family created a bird nest supply shop last week, you\u2019ve even seen some more around your home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that birds turn food into energy at a faster rate than most other animals? This means they get hungry faster! Unfortunately, there are times when some birds can\u2019t get enough to eat. That means even a little extra food can go a long way to feed them and their babies that should be hatching very soon!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s help them out and upcycle some otherwise single-use plastics you&#8217;ve got lying around the house! Hunt through your recycling for things like plastic water bottles, yogurt containers, or other plastic containers that have a lid that would otherwise be on their way out your door. Here are a few other things you\u2019ll need for this&nbsp;activity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li> 3 wooden skewers\/dowels (about 30cm long)<\/li><li>Measuring tape<\/li><li>Nyjer seeds (These are safest! Putting larger seeds out this time of year can be risky for baby birds.)<\/li><li>Rope to hang the feeder with (No trees? No problem! Use a pole to hold&nbsp;the feeder off the ground instead)<\/li><li>Cutting tool <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"710\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Steps.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-579141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Steps.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Steps-254x300.jpeg 254w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Steps-355x420.jpeg 355w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"133\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Birds.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-579142\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Birds.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Birds-300x67.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"192\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bird.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-579143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bird.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bird-300x96.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/9Artboard-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-580704\" width=\"400\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/9Artboard-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/9Artboard-1-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/9Artboard-1-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/9Artboard-1-696x348.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the birds! #EarthMonthforAnimals Have you started to notice more birds in your neighbourhood?
