Cut a piece of string or twine about three feet long. Tie one end of the string around the top of the pine cone. Be sure to cover all sides of the pine cone. Pour bird seed into a plate or shallow bowl. Roll the pine cone in the bird seed, making sure as much seed sticks to the pine cone as possible.
Different birds eat different types of bird seed.
Take your pine cone feeder outside and tie the free end of the string or twine to a tree branch or balcony railing. Make sure you can see the feeder from your window so you can see the birds that come to snack on this yummy treat. Check out a book on local bird watching from your library. In hot temperatures, the peanut butter may melt, making a sticky mess. Luckily, during the warmer months, it s easier for birds to find seeds on their own.
