When you are done, fill with your favorite bird seed and....
Don't forget to eat all of the pickles first!
You may not want any pickles for a while but the birds and your neighbors will love you for it!
 Editor's note:
Use only all plastic jar and lid...no metal!
Rectangular slots at bottom of jar for seed delivery to the birds.
Keep a fresh supply for them at all times.
