Do you want to make...a birdseed birthday cake???

Follow these instructions and the birds will come flocking to your "Birthday Cake"!!!

You will need


  • Lard
  • Birdseed/birdfood
  • A small container (I used half a coconut shell) but you can use clean yogurt pots, small drinks bottles or whatever you want.
  • Some string
YOU WILL NEED AN ADULT TO HELP!

How to make your "Birdseed Birthday cake"

  1. Either warm up the lard in a saucepan until melted (If you do it this way GET AN ADULT TO HELP) You can also chop it into small cubes and mash it together with your fingers.


    2. Pierce a hole in your container and tie the String through the hole to make a loop.  GET AN ADULT TO HELP WITH THIS PART!

    3. Add the birdseed/birdfood to the mixture.  DO NOT ADD RAISINS TO THE MIX IF YOU HAVE A DOG...THEY CAN MAKE YOUR DOG ILL

    4.  Press into your container and leave to harden in the fridge for about an hour.

    5.  Once hardened hang outside wherever you can!



There will be more "How To's" Soon!
Bye, bye

  1. What a cool thing to make. I bet my little chipmunk, Timex, will love it as much as the birds.
