| Fat balls for the birds |
Even though temperatures are not terribly low right now, and no snow has yet arrived, it won't be long. Every year I make homemade fat balls for the birds for two reasons: firstly because I know that the ones I make are not bulked up with rubbish stuff that looks like sawdust and which doesn't do the birds much good, and secondly because it is cheaper than buying the top quality fat balls. And anyway, I like to see them eat what I have made. They do fight over them though! So I make plenty and I freeze them. Never put out fat balls in summer or during warm weather when the fat can go rancid.
