Guest buster321c Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Kay , you should make your own . Melt some lard and put bird seed into it , works a treat , and sunflower hearts are real good for gettin the birds in . Jolleys is the cheapest for seed , pick your own type of thing ,atb Buster Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kay 3,709 Posted April 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 never heard of them melting... lard would though sureley? Its a right pain having nowhere to put any away from the fences as i dont want any cats to get the birds Quote Link to post Share on other sites
