Homemade Suet

We are making some of this today, so I thought I’d post the recipe from our old site…

We did a science project to see what the birds like best. We used this recipe. It is allergy safe with my little sister and brother around. You can also add some Sunbutter.

Then put it in the refrigerator for a while. And here are some more ideas for feeding birds.
