Bird Treats

If you have bread that is going stale, why not make some bird treats with it! A fun activity for the kids, and the birds love it. We cut the bread into different shapes using cookie cutters, make a hole for string using a straw, smear with peanutbutter and coat with seeds. This way the birds can eat the seeds, peanutbutter, bread, and use the string for nest building. Just don't put the peanutbutter next to Olivia!



Another bread treat idea we had was to do the same with a whole piece of bread and put it in a suet feeder for the warmer months instead of serving rancid suet.

Our past bird treat projects:

Pinecone covered in peanutbutter and dipped in seeds
Apple rings
popcorn cranberry garland
No-Suet Suet
