How To Feed the Birds When You Have A Cat
Soften lard and add bird seed, press into a deep cookie sheet, refrigerate and cut. I used cookie cutters and made ornaments for outdoor tree for the birds in winter.
My version of suet cakes is as follows : Depending on how many cakes you want to make , here are the ingredients that I use. Wild bird seed , lard , chunky peanut butter , oatmeal , and all purpose flour !
Thanks for the suggestions I used the one with peanut butter and on the day 3 there was just about 1 inch left in the suet holder. Had to make more.
