My bird feeder & bath

I bought my bird feeder from LTD.com. It was $24.95 plus about $6.95 for shipping. It is made of plastic. It has a solar light at the top, bird cup feeder, round saucer shape bird bath and a smaller round shape saucer at the bottom for what ever you want to weigh it down. I used colored rocks and plastic flowers at the bottom of mine and it is very sharp. See my picture of it.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Step 1

My bird feeder/bath at night

Once you get at bird feeder/bath, you will have to assemble it. Take your time, it can be aggravating. Once assembled place it on your patio, deck, front porch etc.. Where you would like it. Remember when the birds to feed they make a little mess, so I would place it where you can easily sweep.
Step 2

Once it is where you want it. I placed colored stones in the bottom filled it almost to the top. Then I took plastic flowers and cut long pieces to go around the bottom and smaller ones to place in the middle. I also cut off plastic leaves and placed them in between the flowers to fill in any gaps.
Step 3

Be careful and make sure the parts to the feeder are all tight and also place in an area where the wind does not get do alot. Be careful of the scissors when cutting the plastic flowers. I used gardening cutters. Be careful and have fun.
