Winter is just around the corner and as an animal lover, some of you will certainly want to do something good for your bird friends.
Better to put together something good yourself than buy it cheap...
And to make sure that this kind gesture is good for the birds (good contents in the bird food) as well as all other animals (unfortunately, pork lard is often used in industrially produced bird food), it is best to simply make it yourself.
And it's actually super easy to do, quick and all the more fun when the birds enjoy it 🙂
Preparation time: approx. 15 min
Cooling time: approx. 30 min
Ingredients for 2 medium-sized screw-top jars
- 250 g coconut oil
- 100g hazelnuts and walnuts
- 100g sunflower seeds
- 3 tbsp puffed amaranth
- 3 tbsp puffed quinoa
- 3 tbsp oat flakes
- 3 tbsp sultanas
Preparation
1) Heat the coconut oil in a pan. Add all the remaining ingredients to the liquid fat and mix well.
2) Pour everything into a medium-sized preserving jar and leave to cool. Place the open preserving jar on its side in a birdhouse and wait for the first guests 🙂
Alternative without bird house:
Pour the mixture from step 1 into silicone moulds and place in the fridge to harden.
As soon as the mixture is firm, carefully press it out of the moulds and attach a string. Now simply attach it to the tree - or wherever you would like to hang it.
Happy bird feeding! 🙂
