Even though it's still "winter" there sure are a lot of birds around! And now that there's snow on the ground, they might need a little extra help finding something to eat! Plus it's lots of fun for kids to watch the birds come to visit. So, it's a great time to gather the kiddos to make the birdies some yummy (and adorable) treats.
What you will need to make around two 2.5 - 3 inch biscuits:
3/4 cup of birdseed
1 tablespoon flour
Water
Cookie cutter
Oil
Foil
Cookie sheet
Straw
Ribbon
First, mix together the birdseed, flour, and 2 TBSP of water.
Next, Spray or coat the cookie cutter with oil and place it on a foil covered cookie sheet. Place the mixture in the cutter and pack it well. Insert a half of a straw near the top so you have a place to hang it!
Bake the biscuits with straw in place in a 170º oven until the biscuit is hard, about one hour. Let cool.
Remove the straw, place a ribbon through the opening and hang it outside in a spot that is out of the weather. Hopefully it will be by a window so you can see what sort of birds visit you for a snack.
