This week at club wild we have been making bird feeders out of a variety of different shaped plastic bottles. These will keep the seed dry and they look fantastic.
We also made fat cake for the birds. Here is our quick and easy ‘Club Wild – Bird Fat Cake’ recipe:
Ingredients
Vegetable or beef suet
Porridge oats
Any of the following – bird seed, meal worms, bird nuts, ground nuts, hard cheese
Moulds – yoghurt pots or other plastic tubs, coconut shells, pine cones
String tied to the mould
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl until they are bound together. The warmth of our hands made the fat squidgy and sticky. Spoon the mixture into the mould and press it down.
By providing food and water for the birds we are helping them survive the winter. Hopefully we will attract more birds to the school grounds where we can watch and learn more about them.
Cheers
