Birdcakes

Here are our latest batch of birdcakes. The birds in our garden can't get enough of them and especially like the large cone!

I used a mix of:

Mixed bird seed

Sunflower hearts

Grated cheese

Raisins

Peanuts (Not whole if there are baby birds)

Melted lard

Just mix all the ingredients together with the melted lard in a large bowl/pan. You can the fill coconut halves, large cones or plastic yogurt pots with the mixture allow to set in a cool place and then hang out for the birds to enjoy. Blue tits, long tailed tits, Blackbirds and a number of other small birds love the mix, though so do the Magpies!
