Try this yummy bird feeder idea!
(bagel, peanut butter, lard, oats or bird seed, string)
Mix peanut butter with equal parts lard or
shortening. spread on a bagel, roll the bagel in oats mixed with bird
seed.
Tie a string the bagel. Then tie it up in a
tree or wherever you please.
Notes:
Mix lard and peanut butter together so the peanut
butter doesn't get stuck in the birds' gizzards. That can be
hazardous for them, and the lard provides lubrication.
Charli
Holland sent in an idea for an easy to make bird
feeder.
"You can also make bird feeders with pine
cones. All you have to do is get a pine cone spread peanut butter over it,
then roll it in bird seeds, then tie string around it an hang it out for
children to watch new birds arriving."
Note from Creative Kids at Home:
If a child is allergic to peanut butter, use tahini (ground sesame seeds)
in its place.
