  Experience the gratification of watching birds gobbie seeds and other treats from your homemade bird feeder. Look on with delight as a mother bird tends to her babies in the protective hideaway of a bird house you have lovingly constructed from a dried gourd. Create a sunflower plantation, a bird teepee, a tent-style twig feeder, a pedestal birdbath. Follow the step-by-step instructions in this book, and your garden will quickly become an enticing playground, breeding ground, and feeding ground for colourful song birds. Among the book's special features: Projects require only a few simple tools and supplies and most can be easily and inexpensively assembled using only scrap materials found around the house; Information-packed sidebars include tips for identifying the nests and eggs of songbirds and unusual facts and figures about birds and bird behaviour; Instructions show how to create baffles and barriers to keep squirrels, and other unwanted guests away from the birdseed
