Materials

Instructions

  • Drill holes into the corners of the tray with a drill bit diameter a little large than your rope.
  • Then drill smaller holes to allow water to drain.
  • Place a small piece of window screen or landscape fabric over the hole to let the water out but keep in the bird seed.
  • Cut two pieces of clothesline rope about 20 - 24 inches and thread one end from the top through one of the corner holes. Tie a knot under the tray to secure it in place.
  • Thread the other end of the rope into the adjacent corner hole and tie a knot.
  • Repeat with the other side.
  • Attach two pieces of velcro to one side of the tray evenly spaced apart.
  • Place the tray in the window by sticking the side with the velcro to the glass and then adding the suction cups above to hold each rope.
  • Add some bird seed and watch as the birds enjoy their feast.

Notes

Tip: Make sure you clean the glass well to help the suction cups stick. Also, wet the suction cups slightly before sticking them to the window.
