Despite the title, I’m talking about making cakes for birds, not cakes made out of birds!

Our garden has been very busy lately as the temperature starts to plummet – the temperature for the previous post about the allotment was around 4 C (39.2 F) – and the birds are becoming quite demanding!

So, I thought I would make them some little cakes using lard, bird seed and the coconut shells that have been emptied. The process looked something like this:

I hung them out on the trees and hid a couple for the little birds as the starlings are very greedy and chase the wee ones away! It does look like I’ll be making these on a regular basis – they didn’t last very long!
