lucky birds!

also, are the oats cooked a tad, so they 'expand' as is normally the case with home made oatmeal for breakfast?

hi. nice video. thx. I'm a novice. what is the ratio in 'PARTS' (grams could be different as fat is more dense then grains and stuff). what is the suet/fat : other_stuff ratio ? (i mean other_stuff lumped together. eg 1:1 means eg 1 cup of suet : 1 cup containing peanut butter with some bread crumbs and raisins in that SAME cup)..if you know what i mean.
suet novice hear. in oz we get cockatoos, corellas. lorikeets (hopefully they'll come)...

Great to see a video on the process! I make my own suet cakes, too! Crisco is not the same as lard. Crisco is hydrogenated vegetable oil--& not as good for the birds as actual lard. You can buy lard in the oil section of the grocery store--I buy it by the tub for my suet cakes. Lard is probably less expensive than Crisco. I don't melt the lard or peanut butter--I mix it all in my mixer, & spread onto cookie sheets & cut to the size of my square suet cages. My videos show the suet being eaten.

our birds love suet too, thank you for the hints on making my own.
Glad you liked it. It is cheaper to maintain than buying it.

I'm glad you liked the video. There are no real rules or recipies except to have the suet or lard and to hold it together. I also just use bird seed that I put in the feeders as well. The suet is great for their feathers.
