Default Some birds in the garden now.

Can we make our own fatballs? and if so how?
If we don't hang them under a "bell" the gulls have them away so they have
to be able to hang and not drop off.


THe boys have made these at beavers/cubs using lard + bird seeds, which
they melt or squish into an old yoghurt/rice pot with string through the
bottom to loop and hang up. All very bluepeter.

However, the birds do /not/ appear to like them. (The milage of your
birds may vary)
