Toilet Paper Roll Bird Feeder

We have two cats who LOVE to sit on their little window perches and watch the birdies torment them outside the window.  This is a great way to 1) give the kids something to do, and 2) give the cats plenty of birds to watch.  As with most great ideas, it's super simple:
  • Grab an empty toilet paper or paper towel roll.
  • Spread peanut butter all over it (the kids will have a ball doing this, trust me!)
  • Roll it in bird seed.  You might want to pat the seeds down a little just to make sure they stick.
  • Hang your seeded tube on tree branches, and wait for your first customer.
You can also do this with pine cones.  Just use string to tie them onto the branches!
