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)
See my post to Baz. They don't like lard. We tried that a couple of
years ago!
Sacha, I don't see that post.

It's in the thread but basically, it's a suggestion that you use beef
suet or rendered fat. We've tried lard and they just didn't take it.
I see. Thanks. There goes our steak and kidney pud. The arteries will thank
you as well :-} (that's my double chin)
