Nut butters work great! Healthy for birds and adaptive to different temperatures. Lords and other fats do work, but can get terribly messy and drippy with heat.
Thank you for your wonderful info........I did mention salt pork which I have on hand, but I guess it would be the same as bacon fat right? I will try your recipe and let you know how I made out. I baked some corn bread (for birds).....it has attracted the big beautiful woodpecker and the junkos.......but if they eat it up too fast, I will have to tell them I don't have all day just to bake for them. I tried a little bit because it's all good ingredients, but I did not like it...{IT IS FOR THE BIRDS} Thank you again for your info Sim
I would avoid the added salt. Wild animals balance their sodium intake pretty well. Adding it from an unusual source may spike it and birds have sensitive circulatory and pulmonary systems. The equivalent of mild acute hypertension could be fatal or cause significant health issues for them.
