I really despise throwing away food. Even more, I despise throwing away food that was expensive that kind of got a little old because it was forgotten about in the bottom of the fruit basket. So after researching home made bird feeders on pinterest I concocted my own as of this morning after making home made oatmeal. I have no idea if the birds will eat it, but I will try anything at least once!!!
I took the apple cores and sliced up an old icky orange that I wasn’t going to eat. I speared it with a wooden kabob skewer. I tied these two together, one above the other, using twine. Then I hung it in the “brambly patch” (as I call it) where all the birds hang out.

Great idea esp you can’t put oranges in the compost!
So how are the birds liking it? I love the bramble idea!
Well something ate it because it’s all gone now!! I will have a lot of bird seed hulls to shovel in the spring. Hehe.
