Beeping Plastic Bottle Bird Feeder

Step 7 Finishing up

Cut a piece of PVC pipe that is a little taller than you want your bird feeder to be. Then, cut another piece that is about a foot long. Connect these two pieces with one of the elbow connectors so it is in the shape of an upside down L. Then, put the other connector so it points up. Next, drill two parallel holes in the small bottle and cut a foot long piece of rope/string. Tie each of the ends inside the bottle so you have a loop. Hang this loop on the elbow connector that is pointing upward. Fill the small bottle with bird seed using the slit at the top and than tape the slit shut.

If you are doing the electronics you connect the two long wires to the wires coming from the two tin plates on the bird feeder. You might want to do this before you put the bird seed in and hang it up if you are going to soldier it. If you twist it you can do it in any order you want

Now, you can go put it outside and instead of watching for the birds to come, just wait for the beep!
