To make a DIY teacup bird feeder, take an old cup and a saucer, or purchase a new cheap set. Use also marine epoxy, ½ inch copper pipe, and copper end cap. Glue a cup to a saucer, then turn it over and glue copper and cap to the saucer bottom. When epoxy dry, unit the pipe with the cap and place your new item in a chosen place. Fill it with seeds. A big plus is in the inaccessibility for squirrels and cats.
