Winter Bird Feeding Projects: Two Easy, Gooey, and Fun Ideas

Here are two easy, charming projects you can do right now to aid your backyard birds. Birds and other backyard wildlife, like us, are confronting lower temperatures and limited food resources at this time of year in many parts of the country. Let's lend a hand (or at the very least some seeds and suet) to them!

Suet Ornaments 

This suet ornament project can be done if you've ever prepared cookies.

• Combine the suet and seeds in a bowl.
• Use cookie cutters to squish it.
• Because the cutters are stuck, removing them is the most difficult task.
• Make a hook with a huge paper clip.
• Freeze in a freezer bag.
• Hang out in the open air.

Feeder for Suet

This project begins similarly to the suet ornaments by preparing cookies. In fact, while swirling the ingredients in this craft, they smell a lot like cookies.

What you'll need is the following:

• needle nose pliers cardboard egg carton mixing bowl and spoons
• newspaper
• 2 rubber bands, thick (like the ones from when you buy brocolli)
• 3 cups scissors suet or homemade filling made with the components listed below wire clothes hanger or thick gauge wire
• Get the remainder of the directions for making a suet feeder out of an egg carton right now.
• What's the Point of These Suet Bird Feeding Projects?

The National Wildlife Federation encourages individuals to plant wildlife-friendly gardens, and we even offer a programme that demonstrates how to do it. We encourage you to grow native plants all year long to offer food, cover, and places for wildlife to raise young. However, in the dead of winter, we occasionally provide seeds, fruits, and suet to aid birds and squirrels. It's not only a method for us to protect wildlife, but it's also a means for our families to feel more connected to it. The second objective is as crucial. My children have always enjoyed working on projects that benefit the birds, squirrels, and chipmunks in our neighbourhood. They get a kick out of seeing the animals come to the feeders they built.

I know a few adults who are equally enthralled.
