What You Need:

• A Tablespoon
• Gelatine
• Birdseed
• Dried Fruit (if desired)
• Drinking Straw (cut in three)
• String
• Shape moulds of your choice (silicone moulds works best)
• Mixing Bowl
• Water Jug

Directions:

1Sprinkle 4-5 tbs gelatine into ½ cup of cold water. Let it sit for a few minutes until the water absorbs the gelatine.

2

Add 1¾ cups of boiled water to the mixture, mix and stir well until it has completely dissolved.

3

Stir in 4 cups of birdseed to the mixture. Allow the mixture to sit for approximately 15 mins and cool so the gelatine mixture thickens and coats all the birdseed.

4

Once the birdseed mixture has cooled and thickened, pour the mixture into shape moulds of your choice (works best with small moulds). Press the mixture down firmly & evenly. 

5

Push the short straw through the shape to create a hole – this is so you’ll be able to put the string through later. Add pieces of dried fruit by pressing them down into the mixture if desired.

6

Leave to harden overnight in a cool, dark area. Next day, gently remove the mould and the straw from the bird feeder mixture.

7

Pull string through the hole made by the straw, hang up the bird feeder in a tree and watch the birds fly through and eat your bird feeder!!
