Making a bird surprise

Vogelverrassing dennenappel

Nice, isn’t it, all those birds in the garden. We’re going to help them get through the winter. We prefer to feed all year round, also a little self-interest, because bird watching makes you happy.

In winter you make birds happy with fat. We are not going to buy fat bulbs! It is much more satisfying when you make something yourself. We are going to make a bird surprise of pine cones. When you put a pine cone in the heat for a while, the scales open. Now you can put fat and seeds between them. Tie a string and you can hang it!

Funny, such a pine cone full of bird food, decorative. And a nice place to eat for the birds, they can access it from all sides. How they will feast! A true bird paradise.

Are you also coming to make such a bird surprise? Nice messing around, that’s allowed with us!
