Dollar Store Peanut butter feeders, New and Improved!

This is 🦅🦜such a great idea! My wife loves this! Ty for the demonstration.

[@LSatch]

@@ChrisGober-l8v you’re welcome. Glad you like it. Thanks for sharing

[@ronweiland5991]

Don't try this with peanut butter but please use suet. If the peanut butter gets in their fur the oils will stop the bird from flying due to the feathers sticking and peanut butter can choke the birds. This video is so wrong and people shouldn't be doing it

[@LSatch]

@@ronweiland5991 I appreciate your concern but I don’t think the risk is that great. I use 1/2 lard and 1/2 peanut butter these days.

[@joanne4120]

Great ideas ..just too precious all your time and patients for feeding the sweet Lil birds..says a lot of what a kind and thoughtful man you must be...wife is very blessed.. God bless and thanks for sharing!!!

I can't wait to try to make some of these next weekend. Thank you so much - I love feeding the birds:)

[@LSatch]

Great. My birds love this simple feeder, hope yours do too. Thanks for sharing

[@brucesannino6181]

Really good idea and a good presentation. Bye-the-bye, if you mix a dose of cayenne pepper in what ever you mix up for your feeder the squirrels won't touch it. At least only once and it doesn't bother the birds at all. You use to frequently see Squirrel Away advertised. After I spent a substantial amount of money to buy a tiny container of the stuff, I finely tasted it. It would go good on tamales. Thanks again and best regards!

[@LSatch]

Thanks, cayenne pepper is a good idea, I’ve heard that before.

[@ronweiland5991]

Cayenne will bother the birds if the cayenne gets on their feet and then they go to scratch their eyes. Their eyes will burn. You try it first and see what happens. And peanut butter is too soft and the oils will get in their feathers and they won't be able to fly and then they die. Think monkey, think!!! Use suet, it's a hard fat instead

[@timsInSSI]

I had to dig back in the archives for this one.....I'm going to make one.

[@LSatch]

Use a canning ring if you have one, it really has been working the best over the years. Good luck and work safe.

[@timsInSSI]

@@LSatch Thanks, I'll let you know.

[@pattimurphy6536]

Great ideas. ❤

[@LSatch]

Thank you. Easy to fill with homemade suet and the birds love them

[@JDFseektruth]

Loved seeing the birds enjoy your feeders at the end!

[@LSatch]

Thanks. Videotaping as I type. Look for new footage soon. Safflower vs sunflower.

[@ronweiland5991]

Really??? I don't love the birds dying from the peanut butter getting into their feathers and then they can't fly. Please use suet

Wow, thats a clever solution to get rid of the mess under the bird feeder. Gonna try it out next winter. Hopefully I will be able to say "Bye bye rats" :) Thanks for sharing your video, regards from Sweden.

Thanks for your kind comments. I think you’re the first person from Sweden to comment. Yes, the birds really like this feeder.

[@sandywhite4042]

Thank you,for letting me know on this one. Cool idear. The prices,for bird feeders are crazy. Just like everything else. I like to try and make stuff for them. Thank you ,again. Keep making videos ,please.

Thank you. I do plan on making more videos.

Thanks for the neat idea. I love my gardens and feeding the birds. My wife and I live in the country in Indiana. We feed the birds year round and the hummingbirds in the summer. Just found your site tonight. Thanks again.

Good for you, way to much work for me and I do not have a drill,, or want one I am not a handyman. As for the squirrels I just bought The Nut Bar from Amazon for them. They will go bonkers when I put it out.

[@LSatch]

I’ve always been attracted to power tools. I understand and respect your decision not to own a drill 😄. I should make one of those nut bars for my squirrels.

[@gregoryeditor6500]

[@dmaze8457]

Your idea for type of feeder and your presentation were very instructive. I'm going to copy your work and add one more feeder to my gang of seven. I saw a Carolina Wren and a black and white warbler in your video when the trees looked mostly bare of leaves. I'm guessing you are somewhere in the southeast.

[@LSatch]

You’re right. Outside of Atlanta about 30 miles. Thanks for your nice words, much appreciated

[@richardcron2395]

Exactly, majestic fuzzy birds are people too.😄

I've been wayching your videos to learn how to do this. I do have a question, Do you bring in the suet feeder at night? I have raccoons that scope the area at night

[@LSatch]

Yes. We have the same problem so we bring them in at night. Raccoons can are really annoying, clever but annoying

[@jeriehopf1078]

@@LSatch Thank you

[@littlejimmyjingles]

Thank you for all the info you provide. I have built a couple of things you provided videos for. I have a question about peanut butter. I wanted to start feeding peanut butter and began researching the topic. I get various opinions about feeding peanut butter. Some say you need to get no sugar added, some say it does not matter. Many say you have to mix it with suet, or cornmeal. I checked a local grocery and they wanted over $2 a pound for suet! Can I just feed the peanut butter to the birds using one of your feeders or a peanut butter log (chunk of wood with holes drilled in it) or your feeder per this video. What is your opinion about the kind of peanut butter to use and do you have to mix it with something? Thank you for your hard work at helping birds.

[@LSatch]

Thanks for watching Jimmy. I’ve read a lot of sites concerning peanut butter and birds. The most negative site talks about how bad is ingredient and that ingredient it in peanut butter but at the end they want you to buy their special blend. I found this site informative and they weren’t selling anything www.thespruce.com/can-birds-eat-peanut-butter-4053751#:~:text=Best%20Peanut%20Butter%20for%20Birds&text=Organic%20or%20fresh%20peanut%20butters,birds%2C%20including%20generic%20store%20brands. I think if it doesn’t contain palm oil it probably ok to use. I have done both, putting suet in it and corn meal. They did like the suet added. It wasn’t much suet but it did make it a little softer and they really went after it. It probably diluted any additional salt and sugar the peanut butter had in it also.

[@lynnhoffmann247]

It’s artificial sugar in peanut butter you need to stay away from.

[@ronweiland5991]

Please don't listen to this idiot. Never feed peanut butter to birds since it's a soft fat and oily which gets into the feathers. Then the bird can't fly and it will die. You should use a hard fat only called suet. Birds have also been known to choke on soft fats like peanut butter and lard. Use only suet. We make our own and mix the seeds in. We get our suet from the slaughter house.

[@leisurelylogan]

Squirrels always find a way. I haven't even bought more bird seed.

[@LSatch]

If someone could find a way to keep them away from bird feeders they could make millions

[@baltoravens1]

If you use a Slinky on a pole it works wonders. Only 1 squirrel ever figured it out.

[@LSatch]

@@baltoravens1 I love it......now to find a slinky 😄

[@louiseperkins386]

Great video! I was hoping this one was going to show how to build a peanut butter feeder that holds the jar in a v shape cradle with a roof over it and a perch for the bird to land on. Seen them in different ads but no how to build.

[@LSatch]

I’ve seen those too. I thought about making one but my version with the lid is so much easier I went with it. Maybe in the future...anyway, thanks for watching and commenting.

[@ronweiland5991]

The oils from the peanut butter will get in the feathers and the bird won't fly and will die. Use suet only. It's a hard fat with less chance to get on their feathers

[@blurrylights6344]

I really like the idea of having no mess under the bird feeder but I'm not getting it. I am not trying to be purposely dense here but where do the shells go? Are you saying the birds eat the seed with the shell on? What kind of shell-on bird seed do you use? It sounded like you said "tall sunflower seeds". Is that what you said? I would like to make these but I guess I'm not getting it.

[@LSatch]

Thanks for watching and your interest in making one. In the video, you see I added whole black oil sunflower seeds to the peanut butter. Then I described how to make it mess free. I actually said, you could add “hulled” sunflower seeds and you would have no mess. I totally understand your miss understanding because I had to listen to it a couple of times myself to understand what I said. Hope this helps and again, thanks for your feedback, it really helps.

[@blurrylights6344]

[@ronweiland5991]

And after you watch the peanut butter OILS get into their feathers, do you watch the poor bird eventually not be able to fly and then it dies??? Use only suet if you love our birds. We make our own using the beef suet and mixed raw seeds only. Never use lard either since it's a soft fat that will also get into the feathers. Please don't listen to this guy

It doesn't matter if squirrels are eating of the bird feed. Why would we only want to feed birds? Squirrels are also great fun.💕🍂

[@LSatch]

I agree but not all bird lovers do.

[@jude7321]

I for one don't! Not only do they eat all the bird seed but they dig up my potted plants, that I spend a fortune on, every year!!! Squirrels in the woods do just fine, they need to stay in the woods and out of my garden.

[@BigRedReich-sy5lh]

Big Red Great idea That way you know what you are feeling them

Thanks, this has been a great home made feeder. Thanks for watching

[@Karen-kw8jg]

I'd mix a lot of seed into the bowl with the peanut butter/ lard, then fill the jar.

[@LSatch]

Yes, I do that too but not all the time. We have several other suet feeders with either store bought or homemade suet so sometimes just peanut butter attracts the birds. Thanks for watching

[@ronweiland5991]

Soft fats like peanut butter and lard will get into their feathers and they won't be able to fly and will die. Suet only

[@stevedurr2149]

Having the drill in driver mode didnt help

[@LSatch]

😄. It was but the battery was dying and the circle cutter was really dull. That’s why I don’t do live videos...

[@seasnailsplatoon762]

Great video! I am saving up for a power drill for myself. I want to buy an extra battery so I can have one on the charger and one on the drill at all times. I can't be trusted with a hole saw, though. The only time I ever used one, I ruined it by getting the wood permanently stuck in there. Still don't know what happened. Also, my answer to squirrels is to make sure they have something cheap, delicious, and readily available to eat. It helps keep them off my bird feeders.

[@LSatch]

I feel for you. I’ve gotten many pieces of wood caught in a hole saw. No fun chopping it out. I’ve considered feeding the squirrels for awhile now but still haven’t done so yet. Thanks for sharing, have fun woodworking
