Kohab is all about making things easy, and our new kitset Bird Feeder is just that. An easy DIY project that you can take pride in knowing you made yourself for the garden birds you kohabit with.

Most DIY projects start with a long list of things you need to find, which isn't easy in lockdown, and even out of lockdown can be a bit of a pain. But when you buy a Kohab kitset you get all the bits you need prepared ready to go which means you can really enjoy all the good bits of the project - the actual doing rather than all the dull prep work. Then you can get down to the serious business of enjoying watching the NZ birds in your garden.

So why choose a Kohab Feeder?

Apart from being an easy DIY project, the Kohab Feeder is a platform feeder that is designed to suit the common NZ birds that visit your garden. It's been designed to be versatile and can be used for different types of foods. This means you can feed the birds you want to attract, or put out food to attract new birds to your garden (take a look at our blog How to Attract NZ Native Birds to Your Garden to see a list of what our native birds eat). Simply add a bowl of your choice and you can use it for Kohab Wild Bird Seed (which is suitable for a platform feeder like this), fruit or nectar. Plus It can be easily attached to a wall, fence or tree.  

What's in the box?

With Kohab our DIY bird feeder kits come with everything you need:

• Wooden pieces, cut to size with tabs so that they fit together perfectly. Made from marine plywood that will last and last and is safe for birdlife (unlike tantalised wood)

• Stainless steel nails and sturdy mounting screws that won’t rust

• Easy to follow instructions

PLEASE NOTE: a bowl is not included with the feeder. 

It's really easy...

Simply slot all the pieces together and hammer the nails into the part-drilled holes. That's it! You don’t even have to paint it, well unless you want to. Just remember to use non-toxic lead-free paint.

So why spend your time finding all the parts you need for a DIY bird feeder project when you could give yourself more time sitting in the garden enjoying watching the birds visiting your new homemade feeder, knowing that you are supplementing their diet and helping them thrive. Enjoy!
