The birds finally accepted my offerings! Remember my cobbled together “yarn feeder” I put out last summer? Well it sat completely full all summer, fall and winter. I guess I missed prime best building season.
But spring has sprung and my yarn bits are quickly disappearing!
And they don’t appear to be picky. The cotton, wool, blends, and acrylic are all being used.
Now if only I could spot some nests with my bright bits sticking out!
While organizing my craft room yesterday I came across A LOT of yarn odds and ends. And a thought popped into my brain. Something neat I had seen on Pinterest and in other blogs. Why not snip the bits and peices and put in a cage outside for nesting birdies?
I grabbed a grilling/hamburger cage from the discount store…
And my bag of leftovers…
Fill cage with yarn and close!
I hung the contraption outside in our apple tree and viola!
Now I just have to wait and see if the little birdies take the bait…stay tuned…
