Mark the center to the floor, and the front and back pieces. Align the marks, and nail the front and back into the sides with holes.

Cut a piece of Plexiglas to size and slide in.

Cut half inch in the bottom so that the bird seeds will come out.

Overlap the big roof piece with the small one, and install the hinges.

Center the roof, and nail the small roof piece. The big roof piece will open to fill with bird feed, the Plexiglas can also slide out for cleaning the bird feeder.

To hang the bird feeder, drill a 3/8" hole through the front and back, and insert a dowel.

Screw in some eye screws to the ends of the dowel, add a chain, and it's ready to hang.
