Hi! Your sentences are almost perfect. Here are the best versions and a short, simple explanation for each.

  1. Original: People help birds by making bird feeders and leaving food for them to eat.
    Better: People help birds by making bird feeders and leaving food for them.
    Why: "For them to eat" is not wrong, but "for them" is shorter and still clear.
  2. Original: People help birds by making bird feeders and filling them with food.
    Correct: People help birds by making bird feeders and filling them with food.
    Why: This sentence is already correct. The two actions (making and filling) match in form, which is good.
  3. Original: People help birds by leaving food in feeders.
    Correct: People help birds by leaving food in feeders.
    Why: This is also correct. You can say "the feeders" if you mean specific feeders, but both ways are fine.

One more tip: Always start a sentence with a capital letter and end with a period. Great job helping birds with your sentences!
