So here are a few pics I managed to take. First two are Bendy's idea...peanut butter and bird seed...and I made a few with cornmeal and cream of wheat (what a mess!). Third pic is the feeder dh made me. I'll take more of it when I get food into it and it's hanging.

Hazel, if the pics are too big, let me know and I'll re-size them.
Ohhhhh, not only are they feeding the sweet birds, they are so pretty too

I know my butcher keeps a huge barrel that all his waste goes into, but there is some scrapings of meat attached, I assume I would have to take all traces of meat off it?
