Learn how to create this adorable Coffee Container Bird Feeder House for your backyard birds this spring season!

Creating our own bird feeders is a family activity that we enjoy working on together. We currently feed a variety of backyard birds!
Due to the amount of birds that we have visiting our yard on daily basis, we’ve created a variety of different bird feeders to hang in our backyard! Here’s the full list of bird feeders:
Bird Feeders for Children to Make (this list includes an apple, orange, pine cone, gelatin, sugar cone, egg carton, and toilet paper roll bird feeder!)
These DIY bird feeders attract birds like cardinals, blue jays, woodpeckers, mourning doves, chickadees, and more! They are easy to make a lot of fun to observe when bird watching.
Today I’m sharing a simple bird feeder AND house combination that I think you’ll enjoy making.
Save your empty coffee containers and have fun making this Coffee Container Bird Feeder House!
