Bluebirds haven’t tried the homemade suet I put out so I threw it out and made some changes.
Ingredients
• 1 cup Crisco vegetable shortening
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup nuts, chopped
• 1 cup Quaker oats
• 1 cup birdseed
• 1/2 cup raisins, chopped
• 1 cup dried mealworms
Directions
1. Melt 1 Crisco vegetable shortening bar and 1 cup peanut butter (on microwave less than 1 minute).
2. In the food processor, chop and mix 1/2 cup chopped nuts, 1 cup Quakers oatmeal, birdseed, and some chopped raisins or cherries. Don’t add the mealworms yet.
3. Allow the peanut butter and Crisco to cool before mixing with dry ingredients. Stir well.
4. Sprinkle in mealworms (as much as you think is enough). Mold into squares or balls and freeze for 24 hours.
5. Place in bluebird feeder and hope they eat this suet.
