It’s our honor and duty to look after all our friends. Here’s a handy tip on how to make a pie tin feeder for your feathered guests. Metal or aluminum pie tins are durable, water resistant and easy to craft and drill into. To make a bird-person feeder, use an awl to punch four evenly spaced holes around the edge of the pan. Tie four strong strings through each hole and loop them over a hook or tree branch outside. Adjust the tin to be level and place a weighty stone that’s at least 5 centimeters (2 inches) in diameter in the middle of the plate to keep it from tipping over or blowing in the wind. An alternative is using a rectangular loaf pan that can be hung with two clothes hangers. Take out the middle part of the bottom rung of each hanger, drill two sets of parallel holes on the sides of the pan, and loop the open hangers through the holes. Hang the feeder on something sturdy like a patio cover rafter or a relatively straight branch. Once your tin is ready, fill the feeder with bird-person seed and wait for your bird buddies to visit.

“Halt! You are going nowhere with that! Let me taste it.”
One of the men dutifully handed a large ladle to the colonel, who plunged it into the pot and took a large mouthful of the steaming liquid, smacking his lips critically.
“This is terrible! You dare call that vegan soup?”
“No, sir! It’s dishwater we were just throwing out.”
