Children can enjoy making disposable, temporary birdfeeders by attaching a wire to a large pinecone. Another easy Feeder can be made from a coconut. Poke small holes in the coconut and drain out the milk. Wrap a wire through your original drainage holes to create a hanging loop. You can also drive a short piece of dowel into the coconut below the entrance for a perch.
