How
to repurpose a plastic container as an outdoor bird water
dish
Repurposing
a plastic container as a hanging water dish for birds
Background:
This summer, on an especially hot day, I noticed one or
two finches at my hanging bird feeder outside my kitchen
window mouths open, panting like dogs (very small dogs
with wings, that is). It crossed my mind that they might
not have found the birdbath at the side of the house and
they certainly could use a drink of water on such a hot
day! So I decided to make a water dish for them that could
be hung next to the feeder.
Process:
Watch
the video for step-by-step instructions on making a bird
water dish to hang next to your bird feeder. The steps
in the video are shown below. Be sure to use a clear plastic
container so you can monitor the water level and clarity
from the outside of the dish. If the dish has an imprinted
label like this one, you can also paint over the label
part only or glue a colorful plastic strip over the label.
