When snow covers their habitat, it makes food-finding more challenging for birds and animals. This winter, you can be a birdy buddy by helping our feathered friends find an extra food source.
Here’s what you need:
- Large Pinecone
- Shallow bowl, pan or cardboard box
- Bird seeds
- Honey or suet
- String or ribbon
Here’s how you make it:
Step 1:
Fill your shallow bowl/pan/box with bird seeds
Sift through the birdseed and investigate the different seeds! It’s a fun sensory experience and you’ll get to do a little quality control work for your fluttering friends.

Step 2:
Tie a string to the top end of your pinecone.
Once done, cover your pinecones in thick honey or suet.

Step 3:
Once the pinecone is covered, roll it around in your birdseed until it is all covered.Â

TIP:
Leave the very top of your pinecones un-honey-ed for easier handling your string!
Step 4:
Tie the pinecone feeder to your favourite tree, and wait for your flying feathered friends to come and feast! You might get lucky and have some other friendly visitors.
