8. DIY Log Feeder
A log feeder creates a naturalistic feeding area that blends seamlessly with backyard landscapes. By hollowing out or carving spaces into a log, you can provide seeds, nuts, and suet for visiting birds. Logs also attract insects, providing an additional food source.
To build a log feeder, select a thick, untreated log. Carve shallow depressions or drill holes to hold seeds or suet. Place the log on the ground or elevate it slightly with stones or stands. Add small branches as perches and position it near shrubs or trees for cover.
