Step 4Mount the screen in the removeable top
1. Use a Dremel or other cutting tool to remove a 2-inch diameter disc from the removeable top of the bird feeder.
2. Insert the sink strainer screen into the bottom of the modifed bird feeder top to measure the amount of screen to be cut. A grease pencil is useful to mark the screen -- otherwise, eyeballing it is OK.
3. Use a heavy set of scissors to cut the strainer screen to the proper size.
4. Insert the screen cutout through the bottom of the bird feeder cap and epoxy it into place.
5. With a needle and black thread, sew the tip of the feather boa to the apex of the screen. Wrap and sew the boa to the screen in a spiral fashion over the screen and glue the remainder onto the rim of the feeder top. Hold it up to a light to ensure there aren't any gaps in the sewing job.
