Homemade Cake for a Squirrel and Bird Feeder |
|
|
I have a squirrel and bird feeder, you can't put in loose bird and squirrel food, it has to be in cake form. The cakes cost $4.00 and they don't last very long. Is there a way to make a homemade cake with a bag of loose bird or squirrel food?

RE: Homemade Cake for a Squirrel and Bird Feeder
what a great idea.....I'll have to try it. I love to feed the birds so I can watch them. My cat thinks I'm mean though because I won't let her go outside :)Thanks for the great tip ........Michelle

You can buy these suet cakes in the dollar store if you dont want to make your own. They are a dollar apiece.

Hi, I make my own cakes all the time. I cook down suet. I chunk it up in a pan and cook it down slowly. It will turn to a liquid but will have a few lumps. The birds don't care. After it cools, I add peanut butter and cornmeal. I don't measure but you will have a mushy mixture. I then put this into pans, bowls, even muffin tins. Then put it where it can cool and harden. You can also add some bird seed to them. I put 4 muffin tin size in one square feeder. It is a little messy but it sure is a lot cheaper than buying them in the store. You can vary them by putting other things in them. Berries, nuts, etc. Have fun.
