In this step you will need your old knife. Get your used plastic bottle and cut off the but then cut the top you can cut it on an angle if you would like a heavier flow of food. Make sure to clean your bottle. Mark the size of your bottle or even a bit smaller on to the bottom of your bucket with the marker. Cut it out with the old knife and put the bottle through with the top of the bottle facing down.

For the first step you will need to prepare a place with an elevated space were you can hang the feeder. I picked a place were I have a metal screen. Hang the bucket on the hook and put the bowl underneath make sure it fits if it dosent you can elevate it with bricks.
