Get a package of cornbread mix.
Prepare it as directed on the package except add an extra egg (egg shells crumbled into the mixture also.)
Add 1 c. bird seed.
If the mixture is too dry, add a little more water.
Bake as directed on package. Cool.
Cut into serving size pieces. Freeze in small freezer bags until needed. Defrost and crumble into pieces onto a platform feeder and watch your birds devour it!

Corn Cob Delight

Take a fresh ear of corn that still has its husk. Carefully peel the
husks downward and remove the silk. Take some twine and tie the hunks
together below the corn cob. Hang on feeder pole using the twine.

Hummingbird Nectar

Here is my recipe for homemade hummer nectar:
Do not use honey nor red dye!
Use a ratio of 4 parts boiling water to 1 part sugar. Cool before filling your feeder. Store any unused syrup in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Always clean your feeder thoroughly before adding fresh nectar.

Woodpecker Goo

Get a log or piece of untreated wood. Drill holes in it, about 1/2" to 1" in diameter. You can also attach a perch if you want. Render the suet as normal but do not strain. Leave the small bits of meat in also, cut them up if necessary. Let cool. Push the soft suet in the holes and hang on a feeder pole. (You can also use a recipe with peanut butter in it and serve it in this way.)

NO Melt Suet

A recipe I use in the summer, does not melt, and the birds seem to
love it;
1 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 cup suet or lard
2 cups "quick cook" oats, (I'm sure any will do)
2 cups cornmeal
1 cup white flour
Melt lard & peanut butter.
Stir in other ingredients. If it seems runny, add more flour.
Fill small plastic margarine containers about 1/2 full, then freeze.
Remove from container; wrap, keep in freezer.(Or use any method you
like!) This suet is nice when weather is warmer.

Peanut Butter Fruit Suet

I mix peanut butter(about a cup), raisins, dehydrated blueberries and
cranberries, Bluebird choice suet dough (since I bought a bunch and
the bluebirds won't eat it), and a smallish amount of cornmeal. If I
have nuts around the house like almonds, I throw those in too. I have
also substituted mashed potatoes for the peanut butter and it was a
hit. I mix everything together and put it in a log feeder.
