Tada! Your acorn body is done. Let’s work on getting it hung up now! (Those with kits can jump to step 13)

You see larger nut feeders, while useful for busy gardens, peanuts are sure to go to waste if you insist on filling them to the top, knowing they don't get eaten. Insert the two ends of the rope in through the top of the bowl and tie a knot. Make sure the knot is large enough that it can’t be pulled out. Lengthy one too so top up with many nuts as it can take, or use less to avoid waste - and I think the RSPB will agree with that. Gather supplies. Super easy step if you bought my craft kit! If not, like I mentioned above, try Ace Hardware for the metal mesh and a thrift store for the bowl. A funnel is also included, so we had no issues refilling this feeder. We will note that this option isn’t ideal for larger birds like cardinals that you may want to attract because of the small perches, but it will be sure to keep more aggressive birds away, such as crows and jays. We were very pleased with this feeder’s overall performance and design, and it’s worth considering among the variety of feeders on the market.Then randomly, I had to go get garden watering supplies from an Ace Hardware store and what do you know? The perfect sized wire cloth! (1/4″ metal mesh to be exact) So finally, a year later, here’s the Acorn Bird Feeder tutorial for your viewing pleasure. I’m sure all your neighborhood birds will appreciate it this winter! So do feed little peanuts as possible to make sure they are eaten before going rotten in the peanut feeder. Emma Phelps is an associate editor for The Spruce who specializes in writing about home improvement, air quality, home decor, and appliances. Phelps has previously covered a number of gardening topics including the best gardening tools and the best gardening gloves. For this list, she researched a variety of bird feeder types before making final selections based on feeder durability and squirrel-proofing mechanisms. Unlike a feeder with ports, this design doesn’t limit the number of birds that can access the cakes at once thanks to the grid design. Plus, it’s easy to monitor how much of the suet is left from a window in your home. The cover ensures the cakes stay dry during winter weather, but the drainage holes on the bottom tray are slightly small, so it might be best to drill large ones if you live in an especially wet area.

This feeding station comes with an auger and a twist rod to easily drive it into the ground before screwing on the pole extensions. We also love that this pole is relatively lightweight so it’s easy to set up alone, but we do wonder if it will stay upright during heavy winds or a major rainstorm. Thankfully, it's constructed from steel and has a weather-resistant powder coated for extra durability. This is what your wire mesh should look like now. Looks like a wire tube with flower petals at the end. Or kinda like a very minimal version of one of those Alien pods the Facehuggers hatch from. Anyway, enough with the random nerd break, onward. What you get out of this German-made peanut feeder is the classic mesh surround along with the impressive three perch rings. So when the peanuts get a little short you should notice the nuts pulling over to the mesh side - that is due to a slope on the base to make sure peanuts come within reach of feeding birds.Fold two of the facing sides inward and use your needle nose pliers to interconnect the open wire ends. Repeat with the other facing sides. A squirrel-proof bird feeder provides nourishment for your feathered friends and keeps mischievous squirrels out of their food. Unlike standard bird feeders that have large wire mesh openings that allow squirrels to easily grab seeds, squirrel-proof bird feeders have mechanisms that activate when a squirrel lands on the bird perch or tray. You can find these bird feeders in a variety of styles, including hanging, platforms, and pole-mounted. But what else it offers is it must be up straight to allow the user - that's you - to pull up the lid with no fuss to replenish with peanuts every once in a while. Trim the metal mesh to a 14″x7″ rectangle. This size may vary depending on the bowl you find. Just gently roll the mesh until it fits in the bowl and trim off excess. Leave one of the sides and the bottom with points open (see above picture.) Trim the other side and top of mesh to have a smooth edge.
