Squirrel feeder.


A 'squirrel feeder' can easily be made by making perforations with a hot metal rod, into an empty plastic mega bottle. Bread crumbs, rice, plantains etc could be easily introduced into this bottle, tied to a tree. It provides a good relaxed viewing. A variety of birds also come here to partake of the food. This gives an excellent opportunity for photographic studies.
