Suet Bird Feeder: All You Need To Know About Feeding Birds With Suet

Posted by Filed Under Featured, Suet Bird Feeder with No Comments

Suet is a great food for birds, especially during the winter time and when the birds are either migrating or nesting.  In fact, anytime birds need a high protein boost for energy, a suet bird feeder is a great help.

Suet can be purchased in many different shapes and sizes to fit many different size feeders.  But, it can also be made at home.

Suet comes from the fatty part around a the kidney area of a cow.  You can either use this, melted down or use store-purchased lard or shortening.  Melt it down and pour it into a mold.  The mold shape will depend on what type of feeder you have to hold it.

After pouring into the mold, you should add other ingredients such as bird seed, nuts raisins or cornmeal to give the birds some variety and a more balanced feed.  Let this cool and you have ready made food – and you can freeze any unused suet for later use.

As for the suet bird feeder, you can use many different objects.  You can put the suet mix into an old onion bag and hang it.  You can put it on pine cones, ice cream cones or just spread on tree branches around the garden.

If you opt for a store bought suet bird feeder there are also many choices that range from a few bucks to high priced, custom made bird houses with wire mesh holders ready to hold the suet.

Whichever option you take you will attract a lot of different species of birds such as woodpeckers (if you feeder has a tail support) chickadees, nuthatches, jays and finches.

www.imdb.me/livefearless Let’s face it, I, Sam Botta, cry at movies. It’s what happens when you are reared knowing that you are loved by family. I wish this for you. It’s not too late. I’m kind of a screenplay junkie, since every work, every mark on the page, every symbol, every expression… has meaning, intentionally there, thought through and alive. Sure it’s an amazing art masterpiece that requires a song’s worth of listing at the end of the movie after all. Nope, I’m not going to tell you to bring the kiddos to see “The Change-Up” but you should see it. Some know that I’ve published novels that “ain’t” in my name because of the advice I give to help folks I care about. Each novel, lovingly written to help them find what I’ve been taught that can give the effect of them leading happier, more fulfilling, constantly evolving lives that affect, in positive ways, the course of human events. Novels? Yes. The bulk can be written in less than a week with focused, inspired moments that come when you finally are able to completely disappear for a few hours from the mediocre expectations from those in your world that live the same habits, yet slightly remixed, each day.

Let go of the noose of being what others need you to be, which makes them feel better about themselves, yet if they were to be open and free to encourage you to nurture your own wings and soar, it would be that other person that would be the closest and most personal, most celebrated audience of you, the butterfly that has flown from the cocoon, that other person would recognize the joy of such seeming sporadic flight but it would be the colors, glistening in the sun over the warm, shining, happy green grass, rising to the blue sky, ignoring any thought of clouds, as, for the butterfly, timing is important, and time is everything. Sure the life of a butterfly is quite short, but to that butterfly, a day is like a lifetime, because it is a full lifetime, and so in the most precious gift that you and I have: TIME ~ Sam Botta Words: “Tell me when the time we had slipped away Tomorrow turned to yesterday And I don’t know how Tell me what can stop this river of tears It’s been building up for years For this moment now Here I stand Arms open wide I’ve held ya close Kept ya safe Till you could fly Tell me where the road ahead is gonna bend And how to harness up the wind And how to say goodbye Tell me why Why does following your dreams Take you far away from me And I knew that it would Tell me how to fill the space you left behind And how to laugh instead of cry And how to say goodbye Here I stand Arms open wide I’ve held ya close Kept ya safe Till you could fly Tell me where the
