Make this juicy bird feeder using an orange and attract birds from near and far to your back yard or garden.

Cut an orange in half and use your tablespoon to scoop out the centre. You can save that juicy goodness to eat later – yum!

Get ready for the fun bit… this can get quite messy, so wear a pair of gloves if you have them and make sure you wash your hands properly afterwards.

Grab your fat or lard and roll it into a ball between your hands, this ball will go back inside the orange skin. Roll your ball in a bowl of bird seed and make sure to cover the whole thing.

Push your fat ball into the orange. The skin creates a bowl shape that your fat ball will fit into. You can add more bird seed here.

To create a ledge for the birds to sit on, carefully push two bamboo skewers into the orange to create a cross shape - Make sure you have an adult to help you with this bit!

TOP TIP If you don’t have any bamboo skewers, make a hole using a pen and poke a stick through instead. You could collect some twigs on a walk 💚

Finally, attach a piece of string to the middle of each of the four sections. Then make another knot at the top.

Once you have finished, find a tree to hang your bird feeder on and wait to see if any birds want to come by for a snack.

Send in a picture of your bird feeder and it may be shown on live Blue Peter 💚
