Birdseed in cups - bird feeders

I've filled an old cup with birdseed and attached it to a twig with a ribbon so the birds can sit on it and dine with relish.

My food mix

  • Sunflower seeds
  • crushed hazelnuts and walnuts
  • a lot of oatmeal
  • raisins
  • wheat bran
  • coconut oil

This is how it's done

Knead some coconut oil with all the ingredients together and half stuff the cup so that there is still an edge to sit on. In the summer, the birds do not need to be fed extra, but it does not speak against a little surprise with treats from time to time. The cups also look pretty decorative on the branches and the birds can not get caught like some nets.

You are welcome to put in some fruits z. B. Apple bits, but please make sure that berries and fruits are neither sugared nor sulfurized!
