Bird cake and food bars
Fat balls and other fat-based food bars are excellent winter food.
If they are sold in nylon mesh bags, always remove the bag before putting the fat ball out – the soft mesh can trap and injure birds.
You can make your own bird cake by:
- Pouring melted fat (suet or lard) onto a mixture of ingredients such as seeds, nuts, dried fruit, oatmeal, cheese and cake
- Use about one-third fat to two-thirds mixture. Stir well in a bowl and allow it to set in a container of your choice
- An empty coconut shell, plastic cup or tit bell makes an ideal bird cake ‘feeder’
- Or, you can turn it out onto your bird table when solid
Warning: Homemade fat balls can go soft and rancid in warm summer weather, and should be avoided.
