Bird Feeder Project Plan with Cedar Shingles & Copper Roofing

This bird feeder project gives you the chance to try your hand at installing cedar shingles and copper roofing without having to remodel your home. (The roof is actually plywood wrapped with thin copper foil.) The birds will love it, and so will you. Especially when it comes time to refill the seed compartments. The roof of the bird feeder stays stationary at the top of the pole, while the body of the bird feeder drops down to a convenient height for filling.

CONSTRUCTION
The Bird Feeder is about 14" high x 14" wide x 12" deep. It's built out of cedar and plywood. The copper foil for the roof and the shingles for the sides are available at most hobby stores.
