You will need,
2 pop bottles
2 fromage frais pots
1 twig
length bendy wire
and small sharp pointed scissors and a hot skewer to make holes.
Cut top off 1 bottle, bottom off other.
Mark round fromage frais pots on opposite sides of bottle near bottom.
Put cut off bottom onto top and push hot skewer right through both and out other side.
Push hot skewer right through under fromage frais pot marks.
With scissors cut out f/frais circles, bit by bit, keep trying the pots in the hole so as it get a good fit.
Cut bottom of fromage frais pots as shown and push into holes in the bottle. They should fit tight but not crumple the pots.
Put top-which is the cut off bottom of the other bottle- on and push the bendy wire through and twist up into a loop. You can then get the top off to refill.
Push twig into holes at bottom and cut to length.Have a twig that fits tight in the holes.
Fill with what ever, sunflower hearts or seed.

If you have squirrels they do trash them but just make another and find a new place to hang. A hanging basket bracket on a brick wall makes it more difficult for them.
Hope this all makes sense.
