Attracting Wild Birds With Homemade Bird Feeders

For example, a number of wild bird species will eat rodents and insects that may otherwise infest your home. You would be creating a natural extermination system for your home and avoiding the use of insecticides, ghastly rat traps and rat poison.

When you construct wild bird feeders, you should choose the type of food that you put into the feeder carefully, and also the location of the feeder.
