Title: Bird-feeding tips from the RSPB Post by: Bobbie Ireland on 29-Dec-11, 06:40:31 AM Probably well known to all of you, but always worth a mention each year. I did not know about the turkey fat, tho I have never used it myself to feed birds.

Yesterday, I cut up some oranges and apples, added some peanut butter, raisins and some seed, put it in a tin and put it out for the birds. Suddenly, as I closed the door and looked out the window, there were so many birds, it was like a feeding frenzy. Didn't see a bird when I went out. They stalk....lol. It was great to watch them enjoy the fruits of Ed's labor. It was gone in about an hour and I was thinking this batch will last a good day or 2!! NOT, so I'll do it again today. I do have a "piggy" squirrel out there too!!

You conjure up a lovely sight, Donna!
