Sorry i posted in wrong place , but does anybody make their own suet bird cake mix etc so i have an idea what to feed the birds whilest it is cold weather.

headcovers

1 pound lard
16-20 oz. crunchy peanut butter
3/4-1 cup raisins
3/4-1 cup black oil sunflower or mixed birdseed
6 cups cornmeal
5 cups all-purpose flour

Melt lard in microwave. Pour into a really large mixing bowl, stir in other ingredients in order above. Pour mix into cake pan, cool and cut into blocks to fit your feeder. Freeze in zip-lock bags.
