Fat Snax Feeders

Fat Snax Feeders are a great, no-mess way to feed suet balls or High Energy Truffles to the wild birds in your New Zealand garden.

 Not only are they a smart, attractive addition to your garden but by using a hanging Fat Snax Feeder you protect the birds from cats while they are feeding and also don't attract mice or rats as you do when bird feed is put directly onto the ground.

They are designed to take High Energy Truffles or homemade suet balls.
The top flips open to allow for easy filling.

 Suet or High Energy Truffles are great food to offer birds in the winter because this is when their normal food is hard to find and they need a higher calorie intake to keep their bodies warm.

Suet Recipe
Suet is the hard white fat found around kidneys and loin cuts of meat. You can get it as off cuts from your local butcher or if you can't face handling the real stuff you can get lard or dripping in block form from your local supermarket.
Cut the fat (suet) in chunks and place in saucepan on a low heat until it softens. It is important to do this process slowly so that you don't overheat it and change the nature of the fat in any way. The fat doesn't have to become completely liquid, at the point at which it is the consistency of a paste you can take the pan off the stove & stir in a bird seed and sunflower mix. Let the mix cool until it is of a consistency suitable to spoon into whatever mould you choose.
 I find an ideal way is to pour about 25 - 30mm of the mix into a plastic ice cream container. When the mix cools you can remove it from the container by turning it up side down and pushing down on the bottom.
Store in the freezer until ready to use.

Adding different ingredients to the mixture before it cools can make it more attractive to birds and supply them with extra energy.
