I Use Cher’s (our original Bluebird Nut administrator) peanut butter suet recipe and they (& others) have always loved it, ONCE they know there are no more worms. Her recipe:
1 cup real lard, 1 cup crunchy peanut butter – melt together in microwave.
Then add 1/3 cup sugar (stir to dissolve), 2 cups oatmeal, 2 cups yellow corn meal & 1 cup wheat flour. Mix all together – it will be fairly stiff. Let cool enough to crumble into about pea size. I keep in fridge & take out about 1/2 cup each morning & feed. Other birds love this, too, so I use my cage feeder to exclude larger birds. But before I had one I just put out enough after my blues were there & ready to eat.
