How do you make suet?

Categories: Bird Feeders

Suet is a great treat for birds. You can either buy commercially made suet or make your own. Garden Gate Magazine describes a method you can use to prepare a lavish meal for your feathered friends. One point to remember is not to add pan drippings to your suet. The drippings contain salt and other substances that are harmful to birds.

You can use a wide variety of treats, such as acorns, oats, cracked corn, hickory nuts, even dried or fresh chopped fruit, when making suet. Experiment to see what your birds like the most and soon you’ll discover recipes your backyard birds love. If you find any recipes that your birds just can’t resist, let us know about them at contact@cwf-fcf.org.
