don't have to bag or burn.)

Next time you're in the city, prowl around behind apartments to find a
three-sided aquarium, usually next to the dumpster. Take it home.

Line the three sides with reflective film. Fashion a lid from scrap wood. It
is now a bird feeder.

Install your new bird feeder in the window next to your breakfast table. As
you have your morning coffee, sprinkle some bird seed - or crunchy bits of
your waffle - in the feeder and enjoy the birdies sharing your breakfast.
