Covered top to bottom in black oil sunflower seeds, safflower seeds and millet grain, our exclusive Birdseed Chalet is irresistible to most birds. And once they've picked it clean, the sturdy wooden structure remains a viable bird shelter. But you can also recover your chalet to create a never-ending feast for your feathered friends.
DIRECTIONS FOR REUSE
1. Using a butter knife, spread an even layer of peanut butter or honey on the roof, walls and base of the chalet.
2. Cover all the sticky surfaces with fresh seeds or other treats.
3. Hang your feeder and enjoy the show!
