3. Mason Jar Feeder

Mason jars provide a versatile and elegant way to feed birds while keeping seeds protected from rain.

Materials Needed:

  • Mason jar with lid
  • Small wooden dowels or spoons (for perches)
  • Birdseed
  • Wooden board or hanger

Instructions:

  1. Drill small holes in the lid to create feeding ports.
  2. Insert dowels or spoons below the holes for birds to perch on.
  3. Fill the jar with seeds and attach it to a wooden board or hang it upside-down.

Mason jar feeders are durable, easy to refill, and work well in small yards or balconies. They are particularly attractive to finches, chickadees, and sparrows.
