Birds greatly benefit from fats found in meat and in plants. Some people might not realize, but birds actually have a different body composition than humans, so the fat and cholesterol that we worry about is not an issue. They have extremely high metabolisms so the fat that we worry about in our diets is MUCH needed in theirs-do the research, I did!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup bacon fat, solidified, room temperature or 1/2 cup lard
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup raisins or 1/4 cup chopped nuts or 1/4 cup bird seed or 1/4 cup crumbled bacon
1 cup stone ground white cornmeal (or more)
Directions:
1. Combine fat, peanut butter, and goodies in a bowl.
2. Mix together well.
3. Gradually add cornmeal until the mixture becomes a stiff dough.
4. Put a ball of this mixture in a suet cage feeder, on a pine cone,or an open tray feeder, just don't put it in a hopper-type feeder.
