This step is pretty much self explanatory. Just add the bird food and watch the birds that visit your pumpkin, but be aware that the occasional squirrel may come crash the party.

If you decide to use a new pumpkin your going to need to cut the top off and clean out the guts. Once that is done you can either carve something in the pumpkin or just add the food.
