    Peanut Butter Suet

    by Julie Zickefoose

    This recipe is popular with jays, titmice, nuthatches, chickadees, woodpeckers, sparrows, towhees, cardinals, bluebirds, mockingbirds, thrashers, warblers, and, of course, starlings.

    Please feed responsibly! Avoid feeding lard-based foods to birds during the warm spring and summer months, when they can find ample and natural sources of nourishment themselves. Birds that gorge on suet and other lard-based recipies run the risk of developing gout. Suet is best served during the winter months, and especially during harsh weather conditions.
