PINE CONE BIRD FEEDER


You'll need: a pine cone, peanut butter, bird seed, about 12 inches of string, table knife, popsicle stick, shallow pan
Use knife or a stick to spread peanut butter all over the pine cone, being sure to get in between the scales. Put some birdseed in the pan and roll the pine cone around in it til its well coated. Tie string around the end and hang outside from a tree branch.
Or, if you wish, or don't have a pine cone, you may use an empty toilet paper roll in its place. Or cut out corrugated cardboard into shapes - like maybe a cat - and put the peanut butter and seed on this. Then the birds can pick on the cat for a change.
