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.
A daily visitor to my feeders, this Tufted Titmouse loves the peanut suet I put out for them and really likes the safflower seeds as well. I love how they put the safflower seed between their feet and peck at it to open it and eat.

The films where filmed and edited by volunteers on Embrace Cooperation Ltd project Embrace Woodlands! This film looks at path making, wooden fence making, bird box making, creation of woodland food growing areas and step construction. This film’s main volunteer editor was Michael Ghelfi. The Embrace Woodlands! project was funded by Heritage Lottery Fund and run by Embrace Cooperation Ltd and Trust for Urban Ecology (TRUE). The films provide an interesting insight and educational resource into the history of Crystal Palace and native woodland conservation.
