DIY Birdseed Cakes for Bird Feeders

by Bev @ The Make Your Own Zone

I'm giving a new bird feeder a try this year called the Birdola Stacker. It's designed so you can stack different types of round birdseed cakes on it and attract more types of birds. I came up with a recipe so I could make my own refill stacker cakes for this feeder, but I'm sure this recipe could be used to make any type of hanging birdseed ornament as well. And while I was at it, I adapted another recipe so I could make some more square cakes for another one of my bird feeders.
So this one is for all the other bird lovers here at Hometalk! You can get the complete recipes for these two types of birdseed cakes on my blog at the link below.

I bought mine at Menards. I appreciate the recipe, because I think the purchased feed is pretty costly.
