birdseed for garden birds
The whole year round we have a lot of birds in the garden, robins, great tits, finches, magpies and jackdaws. to name a few. The mini monsters really enjoy watching them stomp a worm out of the ground or search the bushes for insects (and so do we).
Due to urbanization and less green gardens, it is not so easy for birds, there is not enough greenery in which they can eat well. That is why the Vogelbescherming asks to feed the outdoor birds all year round. Then they don't have to search for food in waste because that is very unhealthy for birds.
Cut the top of the pumpkin.
Cut all around along the edge.
Scoop out the pulp and pits.
Scoop the pumpkin completely empty.
Store the flesh in the refrigerator.
Drill 3 holes in the pumpkin
Tie string through the holes.
Fill the pumpkin with birdseed for garden birds.
Hang the bird feeder in your garden and wait for the birds!
Happy Autumn!
