Get stuck in and create a simple hanging bird feeder packed full of nutrients and high fat for gorgeous garden birds.
What you will need:
8 tbsp Nature Nurture Kids Bird Food
6 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp peanut butter (no added sugar or salt)
Small cookie cutters
Natural string
Pencil
Step 1
With the help of a grown up, carefully melt the coconut oil in a saucepan on a medium to low heat.
Step 2
Once the coconut oil has melted, add the peanut butter and stir to combine.
Step 3
Pour the coconut and peanut mixture into a large bowl over the bird seed mix. Stir thoroughly.
Step 4
Make sure the mixture has cooled a little. Using your hands or a spoon, load your cookie cutter with the seed mix. Make sure to push firmly onto the mixture, compacting it tight.
Step 5
Once full, use a pencil to push a hole through the top centre, wriggle it around a little to make sure the hole is big enough for the string to be attached.
Step 6
Allow the mixture to completely cool and solidify in the cookie cutters, the best place is in a fridge.
Step 7
Once solid, gently ease the seed mix from the cookie cutter. Cut a length of string and thread it through the hole, tying the ends together.
Step 8
Find a shaded spot outside and hang onto a branch of a tree or anywhere safe and easily accessible by birds.
TIP: Always make sure there is a source of fresh water available near your feeders, so the birds can quench their thirst whilst they feed!
