You are a vegetarian so you wouldn't have your own suet, like my parents used to do after making bacon or something greasy. they'd save the fat, let it harden, freeze it, then take it out in winter for their birds.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165375435543044068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27283804.post-18943047168348209222010-12-04T18:33:39.062+00:002010-12-04T18:33:39.062+00:00JoJo, the fat balls for garden birds are pretty mu...JoJo, the fat balls for garden birds are pretty much what they sound like. They are balls of fat with seeds and dried insects rolled up in them, which you hang in the garden, usually in special feeders. The birds hang from them and peck away at the nourishing nosh.<br /><br />They all used to be sold in little single nets, but most are not any more because birds' feet could catch in them.<br /><br />I put out fat cakes too, and seed and peanuts. Keeping the water liquid in cold water is the big challenge in the battle to keep the birds alive for the winter.valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784717652044574470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27283804.post-91448162207099135612010-12-04T17:53:18.259+00:002010-12-04T17:53:18.259+00:00Poor Val!
