Our woodpeckers are out in this terrible weather too Barb. I feed them even before I feed myself each morning. Hand-made suet is the ideal thing for them at this time of year. :-D
That is a cute-looking little fellow, B. I see much fewer birds now that there is so much snow. I wonder where mine are.
Thanks for Looking Everyone, They sure do love sunflower seeds. I used animal fat, what do you use? I have lots of birds.. Fighting over that an the wild seed feeder. B
I use animal fat...but I also split a coconut in half and hang that up for birds to eat. They seem to like it alot. I am on my second coconut now.
I used bacon fat with tons of seeds and oats, but they didn't seem to like it much... they didn't like the store bought suet either. I hope that means they are finding other sources of food. Our snow is gone. Lovely pics by the way!
I never heard of the oats part . Corn an sunflower birds around her love. We dont raise oats. corn an sunflowers I still see the birds chewing on my tall flowers an bushes.. Mulberry bush I raise for them. Grape arbor , any bush with seeds . Plant sun flowers next spring an you will see the birds flock there. I did . b
