Instructions

    • 1

      Melt down beef fat (suet) to get liquid.

    • 2

      Allow the fat to cool down to a pasty state.

    • 3

      Mix in nuts, seeds, cooked bacon or anything else you think insect-eating birds might like.

    • 4

      Form the mixture into a ball.

    • 5

      Place the ball inside a mesh bag.

    • 6

      Put the ball into the freezer to solidify.

    • 7

      Hang it from a nail on a post, or from a tree branch close to the trunk. This placement will allow woodpeckers and other insect- and seed-eating birds to feed.
