Fresh peanut butter balls! February 15th, 2021

Описание: February 15, 2021, Eastern NC Feeding American robin and bluebirds sunflower seed & cornmeal mix at the feeder. "Woodlink Going green feeding platform". "Songbird essentials fruit and jelly oriole feeder"

I make the food myself once every week or two. In a KitchenAid type mixer, I put 5 cups of yellow cornmeal. 2 cups of sunflower chips (found at Walmart) 1/2 a 40oz jar peanut butter. Mix up in a mixing bowl, adding enough microwaved vegetable shortening (turns liquid in the microwave) to turn the food into a "molding clay" or "play dough" consistency. I have varied the mix many times. Cornmeal and peanut butter are essential... the rest you can experiment with. Try mixing other items like cracked corn, niger seed, raisins, etc into the ball. Refrigerate the mixture in gallon size baggies until you are ready to make balls to feed birds. This recipe never has any waste! Birds may be a bit freaked by the food ball at first, but once they try it, they can not resist it! Give it a few days. Have fun! This is the only food I feed to all birds in my area. All birds seem to love it!
