I would like some really, really simple ways to make some suet cakes for feed my wild birds in my bird suet feeder.
I found a few recipes, but, I also have some other questions regarding this as well. Can I put in uncooked rice or pasta in the bird mix?
Can I use Crisco instead of going to the butch
Suet is a great bird feed. It has a high fat content so contains a huge amount of energy that will help keep your birds warm and healthy - especially during the cold winter months.
It is also a great feed during the spring months when birds are highly active with migration, mating and nest building.
Female red-bellied woodpecker hammers at frozen suet while 2 nuthatches hang around suet and peanuts. These friends are frequent winter visitors to our feeders.
Just my dog coffey and I loving the suet feeder we put out for the birds recently but got squirrels instead. In many ways it is better and more entertaining to watch them rather than the birds. Sort of on the long side but we enjoyed watching the squirrels hang upside down stretch and reach to get the suet.

“Bat” Squirrel drops in for some suet cake (intended for woodpeckers and other such birds) and goes into a kind of feeding frenzy. It started out as an observation of fairly typical feeding, but then I saw this terrible squirrel fight. It was the most vicious and violent struggle that I have seen the critters get into! The loser hobbled away, but the winner seemed to go after him (her?) again!! Bat doesn’t care! Bat doesn’t give a $#*t! Bat is hungry! Sorry about the limitations of my crappy camera and everything.
