Tips and Tricks
-
- you can make homemade birdhouses or buy wooden birdhouses at a local craft store
-
- Black sunflower seed is a great seed for songbirds like cardinals and tufted titmouses
-
- Birds also love certain berries and fruits like blueberries, raspberries, mulberries, blackberries, strawberries (do not cut), and orange slices. These also add a pop of color to your birdhouses
-
- Fresh Cranberries are usually only in season around the holidays, so grab a bag and store it in your fridge for up to one month
- If you are making this with kids, it's a great idea to have a divider tray with some edible birdseed glue, seeds, paintbrushes, and other edible decorations for the birds ready to go for each child to use on their house.
