Mix your own Bluebird Delight with this easy recipe. Others will definitely partake and it's easy to offer this mix on platforms or in dish feeders. Form into suet balls or traditional suet cakes and pop them into the fridge. Mix a big batch... the crumbly mixture goes a long way!

Fresh water is essential year-round. Be it a new birdbath, old bird bath, plant saucer... whatever! Add a heater and keep it clean & shallow for bird's safety. Optimal depth is just 2 to 3 inches maximum. A few river rocks or large stones in the bath serves birds well for easier footing and perching.
