I made a log feeder and so far it has attracted many birds! :bounce:

:scribe: Every X-mas I tell myself to go out with a small saw and cut off a length from the base of discarded X-mas trees on the curb side. It's either too cold or I am too lazy or both. I finally bought one and now am too lazy to fill the holes and hang it. I still hang 2 suet feeders outside my door. I hate seed feeders as too much ends up on the floor and strange things start to grow in the yard.
What do you put in your feeder? I have been thinking about softening sof of the suet cakes and packing the holes.

In the past (but just during the winter when it's cold), I have made a mixture of melted lard (I just put it in a large platic container and put it in the microwave til it melts...a minute or two), cornmeal, oatmeal, a container of cranberry/orange relish, and whatever else I have on hand to thicken it up in the way of raisins, fruit bits etc. You can always add some cracked corn, birdseed etc....oh, and peanut butter! (that's actually a main ingredient!)
Then I keep it covered in the cold garage, and use an old big spoon to pack the mix into the holes.
The birds are very happy to eat it!
