Definitely going to make these ❤

when i make my fat balls for the birds i cut a straw into small pieces and push into the mixture and freeze over night , then take out the freezer and slide the piece of straw out and thread through my string

I have been feeding the birds for a long time, this is the first time I heard to use cheese! What a wonderful source of protein, thanks for the suggestion.

Great vidio I'm going to try this myself x

Lard is too soft even at low temperatures, any ideas for firming it up, maybe add some flower.

Really helpful, something I've always wanted to do but never knew how,until now 😃,

@@FeraForus I will do,il definately be doing it it's just when lol👍

A great video. But what can one use apart from lard? I'm in South Africa and for some reason they don't sell it anymore. So I tracked down suet, melted it and ended up with a sticky mess. The birds wouldn't touch it! They love the bought ones., even though it's summer and boiling hot. But sadly the ingredients aren't on the bought ones.

Are all birds lactose tolerant and able to eat cheese?

Cheese is low in lactose but to be on the safe side I'd make sure to only use mild hard cheese in this recipe

Nice recipe, I wouldn’t of thought to put cheese in. I’ve made some fat balls using old yogurt pots, the birds really enjoy them, especially the blue tits. 🙂

I've seen the old yoghurt pot recipes, but since I don't eat it often it would probably take me a year to collect enough pots for a video like this! Glad to hear your birds enjoyed them too.
