Its National Bird Day
Fun and safe ways to Feed the local Birds inspired by Tuesday 4
- Toilet Paper Roll or cardboard tube (empty)
- Peanut Butter
- Bird Seed
- Scissors
- Something to hang (yarn or pipe cleaners)
- wooden stick (chop stick,kobob)
Next, we cut slits for the popsicle sticks to slide in for a perch for the birds. I found it easiest if I punched the four holes, on each of the ‘sides’ of the toilet paper roll. Popsicle sticks will not fit in the hole punch holes, but it is easier to get the scissors in to cut the slit when there is already a hole there. Cut two slits for your sticks. Then slide in. They are secure enough since the slits are small that you don’t have to attach them with glue.
Bundt Pan Bird Seed wreath:
- 1 packet (¼ ounce) unflavored gelatin
- ½ cup warm water
- ¾ cup flour
- 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 4 cups birdseed mix
- ½ cup dried red fruit such as dried cherries or cranberries
In a large bowl, mix gelatin and water. Add flour and corn syrup; stir with rubber spatula to form a thick paste. Add birdseed; mix to coat all seeds.
Coat top and side of a 12-cup bundt or fluted tube pan with vegetable oil spray. Distribute dried fruit on bottom of pan. Press seed mixture firmly into pan.
Place pan in cool area; let dry for 24 hours. Carefully flip pan and remove wreath. Tie ribbon on top of wreath. Hang on a tree branch for birds to enjoy
