How to Make a Bird Feeder That Will Attract a Chickadee
- 1). Wrap long piece of yarn around a pine cone and tie it in a knot. This allows you to slide the bird feeder over a tree branch. Emporia State University recommends hanging feeders from trees, as they provide good cover for birds.
- 2). Smear peanut butter all over the pine cone, including between the openings in the cone.
- 3). Chop dried fruit pieces into tiny bits with a knife and mix them with some sunflower seeds. According to Ohio State University, chickadees love sunflower seeds and pieces of fruit.
- 4). Pour the fruit/sunflower seed mixture on a paper plate and roll a pine cone around in it. The food sticks to the peanut butter.
- 5). Hang the pine cone on your tree branches and watch for chickadees.
