We've been enjoying our finch feeder for some time now. At any given time, there are a few yellow, green or red beauties out there nibbling. The problem is, the little buggers go through a bag of bird seed every three weeks. This last time, my husband offered to buy a bag and got wild bird seed which the finches don't seem to like. Haven't seen a bird in four days. From 20 an hour to nada. So today, I scrounged around in my recycling box and got myself a guava juice container to use as a different kind of bird feeder that MAY just attract different birds. I must admit, I got a lot of satisfaction from carving out the holes on each side with a knife -- must be holding in some stress there...be warned! Stuck a couple of chopsticks in, and viola! a make-shift feeder to get rid of this giant bag of seed! Looking forward to seeing what comes a-feeding.
Update...my homemade birdfeeder is working really well! There always seems to be one or two birds on it at all times. the best part is i am seeing a nice variety on there.
