How to Make a Birdhouse With Seeds
- 1). Select your birdhouse. It can be made out of any material, but if you want to reuse the birdhouse select a material that will withstand gentle washing with soap and water. It should also have a door that gives access to the inside allowing you to remove old nesting material.
- 2). Mix 1 cup of peanut butter, 1/2 cup of flour and 2 tbsp. of cornmeal together. This is the "glue" that will hold the seeds to the house. Birds enjoy peanut butter and will eat the "glue" along with the seeds. For large birdhouses you might need to make several batches of peanut butter glue.
- 3). Working in sections, coat the areas you want seeds with the peanut butter glue. It's less messy if you start with the roof and work your way down.
- 4). Be creative. Make patterns alternating sunflower seeds and nuts with dried fruit. Use millet sprays around the entrance hole and as pillars on the corners of the birdhouse. Or, liberally sprinkle the whole house with prepared birdseed.
- 5). Gently hang or mount your edible birdhouse in an area where you can see the birds enjoying their new home but that is inaccessible to predators.
