Time 15m

Yield 1

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

Sharpened pencil
Sugar ice cream cone
Pipe cleaner (chenille stem)
Table knife
Creamy peanut butter
Cheerios™ cereal
Birdseed

Steps:

Use the pencil to poke a hole in the pointed end of the ice cream cone.
Twist a knot in the end of the pipe cleaner. Thread the pipe cleaner into the ice cream cone and out the hole (the knot will hold the pipe cleaner in place).
Use the table knife to spread the peanut butter on the outside of the cone. Press the cereal all over the peanut butter to cover the cone. Sprinkle the birdseed over the cone, pressing it into the peanut butter with your fingers.

NO-MELT SUET (FOR BIRDS)

No-Melt Suet (For Birds) image

Don't put suet out in high summer temperatures, it can spoil and melt, coating feathers. This is a tried and true suet recipe that I found in Birds and Blooms Extra, contributed by Virginia Barnard. She explains that it works very well in Oklahoma's high summer temperatures. We live in Wisconsin, where it obviously isn't quite as hot, but it has held up here, even in direct sun. The squirrels like it too, but now that we're offering other food for them, a little ways away, they aren't bothering it as much as they were at first. The recipe is written for lard, but I used saved bacon grease and it has worked fine. The next time I make it, I'm going to experiment with less or none of the sugar, as it doesn't seem necessary. But, I guess maybe the birds could have a little sweet tooth, too! Note: yield is approximate. I doubled the batch last time I made it, and filled 2 quart ziplock containers after putting some in a feeder, so I'm not exactly sure how much I started out with.

Categories < 15 Mins

Time 10m

Yield 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

2 cups quick-cooking oats
2 cups cornmeal
1 cup lard do not use bacon grease
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
some bird seed, preferably without shells

Steps:

Melt the lard and peanut butter together, either on the stove or in the microwave.
Combine all of the dry ingredients.
Add the dry ingredients to the melted fats.
The original recipe suggests pouring into a square pan about 2 inches deep, or spreading onto tree limbs. I just put it into ziplock containers and scoop it out as needed to fill a screen type of feeder (See photos). I use my cookie scoop to take it out, but then mash and break up the scoops, because otherwise the squirrels can come and take a whole scoop at once, way too easily! I don't know if it would hold up well in cake form, as I haven't tried that, but it defintely doesn't melt or make a gloppy mess.

BIRD SUET -- FOR THE BIRDS!

Bird Suet -- for the Birds! image

This recipe is unique and your backyard birds will flock to this winter treat. It comes from "About.com" and is very easy to make!

Provided by Bone Man

Categories < 60 Mins

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

6 pinecones
4 1/2 cups beef suet (fat)
1 cup dried crumpled whole wheat bread
1/2 cup shelled sunflower seeds
1/4 cup millet
1/4 cup raisins

Steps:

Melt the suet (available from your butcher) over low heat.
In a mixing bowl, mix the remaining ingredients together.
Allow the suet to cool somewhat and then pour in the mix and stir thoroughly.
When it thickens (cools) stuff the mixture in between the "petals" of an open pine cone. Virginia pine cones are best because they open very nicely and can be picked up all over the eastern U.S., but any open pine cone will work. The big pine cones from the western U.S. forests are great too but you'll only need a couple of those ones.
Hang the pine cones from a string in your back yard.
As for the other ingredients, your local farm/feed store can usually supply ingredients such as millet.
This recipe is a good project for kids on rainy days!
