In the past i never knew what to do with an old pumpkin. I used to just trough them out, but now i figured out a new use for the old pumpkins.

Materials

-A pumpkin
-Bird Food

If your starting from scratch:
-A pumpkin
-Carving tool or knife
-Bird Food
-Something to scoop out the inside the "guts" of the pumpkin

Just Add the Food

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.
