A traditional store-bought glass hummingbird feeder hangs filled and forlorn in your landscape, attracting nothing but ants and yellow jackets. Your neighbors are enjoying visits from the tiny and colorful birds, why are the birds not visiting your feeder?
Perhaps your neighbor has taken a few extra steps to attract hummingbirds to their backyard by planting a hummingbird garden filled with colorful, nectar-rich blooms and took the time to create a unique homemade bird feeder from recycled material. You can do the same things with these unique and crafty ideas.
1-DIY Bottle Feeder


Any bottle you have on hand can be kept out of the landfill and recycled into unique hummingbird feeders with these easy to follow, step by step instructions. Spray paint, hot glue and a few other items can transform a bottle headed for the trash into a object of beauty in your landscape. Plus the hungry hummingbirds will thank you for it.
2-Plastic Water Bottle


All those empty plastic water bottles that get tossed into the trash each day will take years to decompose at the landfill. This DIY bird feeder will keep at least one plastic water bottle out of the landfill and provide much needed food for a hungry hummingbird.
