    • It uses birdseed.

    • It goes in a tree.

    Explanation
    The milk carton is different from the pine cone bird feeder because it has a flap. This suggests that the milk carton has a cover or lid that can be opened and closed, while the pine cone bird feeder does not have this feature. The flap on the milk carton may be used to pour milk or other liquids into the carton, or to seal it shut to prevent spills or contamination. The pine cone bird feeder, on the other hand, likely does not require a flap since it is filled with birdseed and does not need to be opened or closed.

    Explanation

The other options, such as milk carton, pine cone, and peanuts, may be mentioned in the passage but are not used for all the bird feeders.
