If you'll trim off the fat from roasts or steaks before cooking or ask at the meat counter of your grocery store, you'll soon have a wonderful supply for the hungry birds. Slice the fat into strips and small pieces or grind it up. Keep the fat frozen in a bag or plastic container until it's needed.

Place the fat into a suet cage. Or save the mesh bags from onions to make great suet holders. Hang the suet cages or bags in numerous places throughout your yard where you can watch the variety of birds that will love to take a bite or two of this great energy food. Feed this type of suet during colder parts of the year since the fat can quickly become rancid during summer's hot days.
