We, as a group collaborated our ideas to fulfil the brief.

1.Use research and design criteria to make a bird feeder.
2. Identify the purposes of a bird feeder 
3. Explore the functions of a squirrel proof bird feeder

2: What types of birds is the bird feeder targeted at?
3: How will we and the birds access the food?]]> 2018-11-24 19:03:22 UTC https://padlet.com/eimearwalsh13/fbth1wbihixq/wish/307426697 lrodtmannbed17 https://padlet.com/eimearwalsh13/fbth1wbihixq/wish/310824497 We researched what a squirrel proof bird feeder was. ]]> 2018-12-04 11:18:31 UTC https://padlet.com/eimearwalsh13/fbth1wbihixq/wish/310824497 lrodtmannbed17 https://padlet.com/eimearwalsh13/fbth1wbihixq/wish/310824802 We investigated how we could construct the bird feeder]]> 2018-12-04 11:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/eimearwalsh13/fbth1wbihixq/wish/310824802 lrodtmannbed17 https://padlet.com/eimearwalsh13/fbth1wbihixq/wish/310825034 We watched videos on how we could make it squirrel proof

1. Squirrel proof
2. Inexpensive and durable

We decided on a design. One of us drew out the design and put dimensions to it.
2. We sourced the materials needed (birch ply).
3. We prepared the wood and marked out the pieces for cutting.
4. We cut the main sides of the bird feeder and planed the edges to smooth them. We cut the hole for the birds t access the bird food.
5.We screwed together the four sides and pitched the roof.
6. We tacked the roof on and ensured the swivel side for the food access was working. we added the dowel and tightened on the sides.
