The BirdFeeder Project

Wintry/snowy weather can mean hard times for most birds. So yesterday we bought two wooden birdfeeder assembly kits in our local pet-mart. At half-price, they were only €14.95 each. So one of them can go in the back yard, the other one in the front yard.

The kit contains all the wooden parts, a decent amount of screws and an IKEA-style instruction leaflet. The only tools required are a philips screwdriver, some patience and a curse or two. So after about one hour, birdfeeder #1 was assembled and ready to go outside & feed some birds.

Number #2 will be assembled tomorrow...
