Make a fat ball for the birds yourself

Make fat balls for the birds yourself.
Necessities:

  • solid frying fat in block form,
  • birdseed,
  • cupcake cases,
  • muffin tin,
  • cutters,
  • oven plate,
  • baking paper,
  • straws or chopsticks,
  • jute rope,
  • cooking pot and fire,
  • spoon.

Method:

Heat a fat block until it is completely melted. Add bird saw and stir everything with a spoon. Let the mixture solidify a little. Fill the cutters with the mixture and make a hole with a straw or stick through which the rope can then pass.
You provide the paper cupcake cups with a piece of string in advance. You make a hole in the paper, pull the string through it and make a knot at the bottom. Put the papers in a muffin tin and fill with the mixture.

Let everything solidify in a cool room overnight. The cupcakes are ready to use. You can carefully push out the cutters and provide them with a piece of string.
