Seed Cake For Birds - cooking recipe

Ingredients

bird seed
raisins or currants
sunflower seeds
hen scratch
chopped or whole peanuts
oatmeal
cooked or uncooked rice
dry cake scraps

Preparation

Pour hot, melted suet over the mixture until it is covered and put aside to set.
Stir when it begins to harden and the seeds will be nicely distributed.
Peanut butter can be stirred into the fat before pouring over the seeds.
Turn out onto a tray when ready to use.
This can also be prepared in half a coconut shell and hung from a tree.
Several of these cakes can be made at one time and kept refrigerated or frozen until used.
Seed eating birds (which includes most small birds around during the winter) will be attracted to this.
Insect and fruit eaters, such as mockingbirds, like a cake made only with raisins and suet.
