What You Will Need

1 11 cm round terracotta pot
1 50 cm long wire
Wire cutters
Twigs
Fat balls, about 3 per pot

Directions
1. Using the wire cutters, cut a piece of twig long enough to fit across the inside of the bottom of the pot. Wrap the wire around the twig to enable you to hang the pot with it.
2. Clean the pot with a mild disinfectant detergent. Rinse thoroughly. Feed the wire through the hole located in the bottom of the pot, ensuring the twig fits securely inside.
3. Turn the pot over, and pack the white balls snugly inside. Fold the wire, looping it into a longer piece to hang the pot from. Hang the feeder from the branch.

Hang the feeder alone, or group it with other feeders for a spectacular bird show.
