Description

Litter pick and make a bird feeder at home

Resources

Litter picker if you have one - we do not recommend picking up rubbish with gloves as they may not protect against sharps which may be concealed by plants or other rubbish.
High vis jacket (stay well clear of the curb and go out in daylight if you are not wearing a high vis jacket).
Appropriate clothing - long trousers are recommended and if you don’t have a jumper to protect your arms you will need to be careful of plants as they may irritate your skin or scratch.
Rubbish bag or 2 (one for recycling and one for general waste, maybe bring a few spare).

• Pine or fir cones (dried out so they open!) • Bird seed
• Raisins
• Peanuts
• Grated cheese • Suet or lard
• Mixing bowl
• Scissors
• String

1.First make your bird mix. Allow the lard to warm up to room temperature, but don’t melt it. Then cut it up into small pieces and put it in the mixing bowl.
2. Add the other ingredients to the bowl. Mix them together with your fingertips, until the fat holds this great squidgy mess all together.
3.Tie string at the top of your cones, then fill them
with bird mix.
4.Put your cones in the fridge to set for an hour or so. Now they’re ready to hang up and give the birds a warming meal.
