I’m 41 & extremely ill so much so I wrote letters to my boys in case I don’t make it but I’ve found a lot of joy in making things off this channel so I can lay in bed & watch the birds out my bedroom window ❤
Rachel, I am touched that you enjoy the things you are creating for your birds there, and it sounds like they love it. Please keep a positive attitude as much as you can, think about your boys, and fight to get better and enjoy each day one at a time. I have more fountains and feeders and fun coming, and I want to hear something positive from you, if possible. Of course, I have no idea what illness you have. But I sent tons of prayers and love your way for you and your boys. Please take care ❤️🙏❤️ I will be waiting for any message from you❤️❤️❤️
Soldering irons, are so cheap, check out a harbor freight and if not try to go to Walmart or a target, look in their tool section they should be under $10.
I stopped by Dollar Tree yesterday just to get some more of those racks and they were sold out. I searched the whole store because I really wanted to make another one. Thank you for the tutorial! I love learning from you! ❤😊😊❤
Oh no! Next time ask if they can order some more, because they should still have them all year at least the black ones and the gold ones, they do have colored ones, but they bring them in for different seasons
Wow Robbie that was a beautiful bird 🐦. I'm at Dollartree right now picking up supplies 😂 Thanks dear friend. Appreciate your demonstration and videos. 1:44
Thunderstorms here again today. Waiting to see if the tornados will come through. I've learned so much about the birds from Robbie just today. This morning a bird I've never seen called a 'cut throat' & little female came & snacked. The more cool things you make the more cool birds come to visit. Word travels fast. LOL Thank you Robbie and Gary. I'm located right below STL where the Mississippi river bends; can you hear the tugboats? 😀
Thanks Robbie for your ideas on making a birds life better. I’m working on a fountain for my Zebra finch outdoor flight cage. They have never experienced a bubbler fountain or waterfall. I think they’ll be thrilled when I sort it out. Thanks for your tips, ideas and instructions. 🌵🐾Zoe🐾🐣🌺🐝🐰😘
Hi my dear friend thanks so much for another great video and I always enjoy watching your videos. You do a great job with them. Hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie.
I ran to my dollar store and found everything you used! I use wire instead of zip ties, put it together in the matter of minutes thanks to your instructions and have already had my first customer a Titmouse that I thought would be to big for it! I'm just thrilled and thank you so much!!
What a great idea using those cages!! I just made a simple hanging feeder out of a discarded hubcap!! It is a perfect shape with a deep dish on the back, but within 2 hours it was turned sideways from squirrel antics!!! I’m going to find a cage for the top!! Thanks Robbie❤
Robbie I made two of them. I don’t know if you see my message before I might’ve put it on a different site with your name on it. They’re coming to it and it’s so funny. The doves and the blackbirds cannot figure out the Sam hill to get in there they’re trying to hang on and eat upside down and they can’t. They’re falling off for their fluttering off. It’s pretty comical. The squirrels haven’t bothered it at all, but I give them whole apples every couple of days so they’re pretty well happy but thank you and I do all of your wonderful hummingbird ideas. I’ve got the eggs. I gotta get that started next, live in Mount Vernon, Indiana and we’re pretty close to Kentucky. We’re at Ohio rivers right next to me so we could pretty much all the birds kinda halfway when they’re taking a rest stop but thank you.
Thank you Robbie, for that little side comment about a hummingbird can sit on a zip tie. I bought those Dollar Tree feeders and they don't have perches. Now I know I can just attach the zip ties to the bottom of the feeder below each port to give them a perch. You solved a problem for me as far as wondering what I could use. Thanks again for all your wonderful videos.
I love this idea! The wire baskets definitely solve the problem with larger birds bullying the smaller birds. My only concern are the plastic dishes that hold the food. I bought some mesh screen rolls that are used in screen windows and I plan to put together a small wood frame with a mesh bottom to allow any water to drain out of the food to prevent any mold from developing in the food. Thanks for sharing this great idea!
I love this. I live in a tiny town in NW PA, deep in the country, and I have an area across the road form my house where I want to plant some flowers for birds, butterflies and bees. My uncle had built this area up, years ago, it used to be a slight angle, and now it is flat land over there. He was making a garden elsewhere, and I think when he had the topsoil brought in, he took some of the dirt he had removed (we have clay dirt around here) and put it over there. There are some areas that are clay as well as areas that have this rich black loose soil, but, to my surprise, there isn’t any worms in some of those areas. Not even one, and I dug down quite far, because it was overgrown with weeds the last few years, so I figured there might be some sort of life…but there weren’t any. I have never seen that before, out here. There were two factories, with one being right behind this plot of land, the remnants are still there, a pile of bricks, and one is about fifty feet away, the train tracks went right through what is now my front yard. So, I am sort of afraid to plant veggies there, because they were a chemical plant and I have no idea what is over there, I want to get a testing kit to check the soil around here. Those chemical plants have been gone for at least 100 years, but I have no idea what type of chemicals were used there. I was just surprised there were no worms in that dirt, but a few feet away, where there is some of the clay dirt, there are worms. I put some dead leaves and weeds and some green leaves into the soil I dug up, just to see if any worms will be there, in a few weeks. I get surgery on my foot, in two days, on Monday, and I won’t be able to garden for a couple weeks, anyway, but I will prepare some other things while I wait. Maybe do some sort of seeds, but I know it’s getting a bit late for that, too. Thanks Robbie.
That’s a wonderful & efficient feeder. One negative that caught my eye are the sharp cut ends of the zip ties on the up side of the feeder where the birds could walk on them & be injured. Really nice feeder idea. Thanks Many blessings
Really like this feeder. What's nice is there's so much room for quite a few birds at once. Regular feeders only have so many perches and holes. I think I might try one of those sand sifter bowls/dishes you get in a child's sand/beach set. It has the holes in it and often can be found at dollar stores. They usually come with a little bucket and shovel which can be used for other things, like water fountains.
OMG, what a surprise ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ this is so greatly appreciate thank you so very much for the generous Super Thanks!!! Hope you have a wonderful week❤️ Again Thank You❤️
I love all your ideas and I couldn’t find the rectangle basket so I bought the half circle ones they sell to put flowers in I took the brown moss out and used that it worked great. I have other ideas for them now lol
I love this idea. But, can blackbirds get in? We are inundated with them and redwing blackbirds too, beautiful, but they drain my feeders and my little guys get shoved aside.
You're so lucky to have all those pretty birds. I have only a very few due to the stupid starlings that won't go away. They scare off the little birds and eat up all the good food. I'm about to take everything down, when I don't want to. I love my goldfinches, woodpeckers, cardinals, blue jay and few other little ones. I just checked my dollar store they don't have those racks like you do and either did Walmart.
I so love the Humming Bird Hangings that you have behind you, they look like flags but don't think they are because they are so large, but I have a couple of windows that I would love to cover with them. Where can I get those and what are they called. I have learned so much from you, I am even trying to grow some Dragon Fruit plants here in Dallas Texas. Would Love to hear back from you. Debbie 🥰
Make sure your cup holding the seed is in the center of the floor, not allowing any spillage of seed close to edge of cage otherwise starlings will eat the feed
I feel like making one now! How lovely and totally ingenious, Robbie! Before I make one though, I have a question- do you have raccoons there and have they been a menace with the bird feeders? Thank you for sharing this great DIY!
Do you think this would help to protect the songbirds from the hawks? Or do you think that the hawks would pray on the songbirds more because they were more easily accessible?
Do you keep your hummingbirds away from others? This year I put all my feeders in the front and trying hummingbirdsin the back. Do I have to do this Robbie? They should be here in days.maine
My problem is sparrows pushing out the doves & jays. The sparrows devour almost everything before other birds can even think about getting even a few seeds. If I use hanging feeders, the sparrows mob them & don’t let other birds eat. Lately, I started putting seed in approximately eight inch rows with a foot or so in between on the ground which helps the doves eat before the sparrows realize the food is there. Do you have any helpful strategies?? I would like to feed more than sparrows. Thanks so much. Many blessings
I use the $5 feeders that you can one get at Walmart. Some I have 30 plus years. I like them because they are easy to clean, at least twice a year I put them in the dishwasher with the heat dry cycle turned off. In the fall I wash them with a bleach solution when ready to store them for winter. Just freshen in the dishwasher in the spring. I wish I could get those feeders somewhere other than Walmart. This spring I received a pyramid feeders. The hummingbirds will not use it, they will look at it and go to a different feeders. I have moved it away from the other feeders, no luck, I have put it next to other feeders, no luck. Even next to empty feeders with it the only one filled, no luck there either. If the bird would like it, it is really easy to clean but would need to be filled frequently. Has anyone had any luck use that type of feeders.
I am so disappointed! I don't know if the squirrels in Southern California are just bigger than the squirrels in East Texas, but the squirrels in my yard (and there are literally hundreds of them) have no problem getting into these bird feeders - made from the exact same wire baskets, ties, clippies, everything just like in the video 😢. First they eat all the food that I put out for them in their own unobstructed feeders , then they devastate the bird feeders. I looked up online and found out they only need an inch to inch and a half opening to get through. They're really cool bird feeders. I made five of them. But I won't be able to use them any differently than any of the others have tried. I can only put bird seed out when I'm going to be in the yard to the can scare the squirrels away as I'm working. Otherwise the birds don't get anything.

I’m going to be watching for soldering irons at yard sales, as well as other tools. 😊I love your midnight crafting.
5.99 at Harbor Freight. I hope you have one in your area.
Soldering irons, are so cheap, check out a harbor freight and if not try to go to Walmart or a target, look in their tool section they should be under $10.
That bird feeder looks real sturdy , I really like the way it turned out! Think I’ll give it try . Good job
Oh, I love it, it’s in the yard and so many birds use it all day and they feel so safe in it and it keeps the squirrels and doves out 😊 thank you

We have the Indigo Bunting out here. Lazuli Bunting 💙 it beautiful
Oh John, the Indigo are beautiful! We don’t have those here either. But we did get a new bird here yesterday and it was still here today 😊
Hi John!!!

So neat.
Thanks
I love it❤ Very cool. Stellar Jay's are so gorgeous. I've been covered up with Pine Sickins. They have wiped me out on sunflower hearts lol
Those are beautiful, we don’t have them here ❤ that is very cool 😊
Hi John
That's a beautiful bird in the beginning, I have never seen one in person.

You always have such wonderful and creative ideas...and a good heart! Thank you for sharing :-)
Thanks Robbie,such a great idea, think I know right where I can put one in my backyard. Take care, Kathy

Very cool 🌺🐦
Robbie I finally figured you out!!! You're a vampire 😂😂😂😂.
Great video. How are you able to get close up videos of the birds? Do you use telephoto lenses?
Yes, I have a Sony camera that I do close-ups of the birds on, but I’m not that far away from them anyways
I love this idea. But, can blackbirds get in? We are inundated with them and redwing blackbirds too, beautiful, but they drain my feeders and my little guys get shoved aside.
I love redwing blackbirds.
@@par4451 They are quite pretty, we also have yellow wing, very brilliant, but so many keep my little guys from eating.
Robbie, my white caps are gone too. They were here all winter now, no where. I have read that they move up the mountain here to nest.
I like wat hing you , I like ur ideals and
You're so lucky to have all those pretty birds. I have only a very few due to the stupid starlings that won't go away. They scare off the little birds and eat up all the good food.

I added a wire basket to one of my bird feeders after watching your video. Some of our doves 🕊️ are bullies.
Robbie, do you also make a safe place for doves? They like to nest in my yard but I am concerned about cats and eagles eating their chicks.
I have bowls for the doves to feed out of and the whole thing is covered with branches on the top to keep Hawks out
I so love the Humming Bird Hangings that you have behind you, they look like flags but don't think they are because they are so large, but I have a couple of windows that I would love to cover with them. Where can I get those and what are they called. I have learned so much from you, I am even trying to grow some Dragon Fruit plants here in Dallas Texas. Would Love to hear back from you. Debbie 🥰
I was just wondering if a tray inside would work better than place mat ? Please advise
Make sure your cup holding the seed is in the center of the floor, not allowing any spillage of seed close to edge of cage otherwise starlings will eat the feed
Love these and so making some! How does the place mat part hold up cleaning wise? Esp after rain and wet seed?? Worried about mold. Thank you!
I feel like making one now! How lovely and totally ingenious, Robbie! Before I make one though, I have a question- do you have raccoons there and have they been a menace with the bird feeders? Thank you for sharing this great DIY!
Where did u find the chains at please
Do you think this would help to protect the songbirds from the hawks? Or do you think that the hawks would pray on the songbirds more because they were more easily accessible?
How did you make your squirrel feeder and where do you place it in relation to the bird feeders?
What bird seed are you using?? I have to use safflower seed only or the crows devour it!!
Do you keep your hummingbirds away from others? This year I put all my feeders in the front and trying hummingbirdsin the back. Do I have to do this Robbie? They should be here in days.maine
Robbie! I got my first Goldfinch! Every month, a new bird shows up. Three weeks ago my first Oriole. This is fascinating. 🪶
Amazing!❤️❤️❤️ So cool! They are all finding You
I'm watching out for Orioles here, should be here any day now.
