How can I make bird feeders using coffee cans?
Quite awhile ago I saw several ideas for coffee cans as feeders and also bird houses. I would love to see those again or some new ideas.

One of the easiest feeders to make is constructed from a coffee can with a snap-on plastic lid. Cut off the bottom and snap a lid on that end. Cut a 11/4-inch hole in each lid, a bit off center near the edge. Pass a wire through the can before snapping on the lids, and hang it from a branch.

Bad Idea without WD40. Why? It becomes a Squirrel and Rodent Feeder. You got to spray the can with WD40 so the Squirrels Slip and Slide. It is fun to watch bad intended squirrels go flying. Please post photos of the Flying Squirrels!
