Any ideas on making a custom birdseed dispenser?

Douglas Hunt on Mar 25, 2013I keep my birdseed in galvanized can with a tightly fitting lid. I think thistle seed has a shorter shelf life than standard black oil sunflower seed, something like three months. If you don't use it that fast, you might want to store it in the freezer.Helpful Reply

KMS Woodworks on Mar 25, 2013When we were feeding regularly we used a plastic rubbermaid type container by the door. we used a smallish grain scoop to fill the feeder from this storage bin. This was indoors so now worries about chipmunks chewing a hole in it.Helpful Reply

Jayme on Mar 25, 2013We keep our sunflower/wild seed mix in a galvanized garbage can w/lid that sits just under our deck by the feeders.....same with ground corn. The thistle seed I keep in a small plastic trash can w/lid that usually sits in my garage.Helpful Reply
