This Recycled Stuff is for the Birds

The Recycle-Bottle Bird Feeder helps put used plastic soda bottles to a good new use. Simply fill a clean, empty bottle with seed and twist on the recycled plastic feeder attachment.  Poke a couple of holes to attach the hanger and this feeder is good to go. Your custom imprint goes on a package insert, which also doubles as a bookmark, printed on 100% recycled paperboard using soy inks. 

Personally, I like this feeder because it helps to conserve birdseed, too. At our home, we purchased a large, expensive wooden feeder at the store. It seems like each time we fill it, we look outside and see a large bird (or sometimes a squirrel) tossing the seed about, looking for the particular ones that it wants and sending everything else to the ground. The feeder is emptied by the end of the day. By contrast, this feeder has a smaller seed reservoir, which helps keep the seed in the feeder for all of the birds to enjoy!  
   
Another great way to both recycle and to conserve your birdseed supply is by storing seed in empty plastic milk jugs. These jugs make filling feeders a lot easier, and since they have secure-fitting lids, they also keep unwanted pests like bugs & mice out of your seed. The FitFill® Birdseed Funnel is unique in its ability to attach directly onto the empty jug. This allows you to have both hands free while you are pouring, making seed transfer easier and cleaner.    

The FitFill® Birdseed funnel is also available at Wild Birds Unlimited stores and other specialty retailers.
