“I don’t want to go to the garden!” whispered the son. Short pause (to get more air into your lungs). Suddenly - instead of the usual morning scream and hysteria - the baby began to cry bitterly. For a second I was transported to his place and felt how bad and scared he was. I don’t know who I was comforting, myself or the child, when I said: “Do you want me to tell you a secret?” Huge, walnut-sized tears stopped dripping onto my pajamas. Yeah, I’m interested... There are a lot of birds living in your kindergarten,” I began confidently. There was no specific plan, I was just stalling for time. Now it's getting colder every day, and birds need to eat as much as possible to stay warm. The son listened attentively, which means he calmed down. Let's start getting dressed. The main thing is not to remain silent, to talk it out, so that you don’t think about your bitter lot again. “Do birds eat rowan?” the child suggested. Certainly! Do you know what birds love most? Seeds! And tits are lard. As a result of long mental work, the child finally said:
Where do they get them? Rowan grows on trees, but what about seeds and lard? Good people pour them into feeders. Tell me how to make the simplest one?
Dear, I promised that in the evening we would definitely make such a craft. Here's the story:
1. We will need: two empty, well-washed juice packs (1 liter), scissors, a stapler and a piece of strong twine, wire, in a word, whatever is at hand and is not a pity. In my case, these are leather laces.

2. One of the boxes will be the “bottom” of the feeder, the other will be the “roof”.
Preparing the “bottom”. Cut a rectangular hole in one of the large walls of the box. The distance from the long side should be at least 1 cm so that the birds have room to stay. We place the second box (“roof”) on its side and cut its sides in the middle in the following sequence: long side, short side, then long side again. This is what we end up with:
bird feeders

If the boxes are of different sizes, you can cut out the bottom side of the “roof”, as seen in the photo:

3. We fasten the boxes in four places using a stapler. If you don’t have it at hand, you can use wire or thread.

4. Finishing touches. Drainage - or four holes in the “bottom” of the feeder (we make them from the inside). Fasteners - or four holes along the edges in the upper rectangle of the “roof”.

Result!

This feeder is especially attractive to tits. Therefore, the child and I buy lard and go out early every morning to feed the hungry birds. To my surprise and joy, we manage without scandals. Almost...
