Leftover Cereal Recipes

Wild Birds are fond of many types of cereals though stay away from the sugary sweet

ones as they tend to attract pests and the desirable songbirds tend not to like them.

Like all of us, you will find each bird has their own preference in cereals.

Recipes and Feeders to Use

Shredded Wheat, Fruit/Nut Cereals

(Raisin Bran), Corn and Bran Flakes,

Crush with a rolling pin or fill a plastic ziploc half full and crush cereal -serve in a ground feeder

Cheerios

Serve whole in a ground feeder

Cream of Wheat, Oatmeal,

Mix each cup dry cereal with 1/4 peanut butter or bacon drippings and serve in tray feeders.

В 

Bread, Cookies, Cakes and Crackers

Stale cookies, bread, cakes and crackers make delicious treats for hungry

songbirds and are easy to prepare.

It is as simple as crumbling up these stale treats and distributing in areas where birds feed.

Spread on the ground or in feeders and white and light colored treats are easiest to spot and

will attract birds quicker. Cookies and Breads with nuts, berries and vegetables are definitely

a nutritious plus for hungry songbirds. A word of caution, these treats absorb moisture quickly

so avoid using in wet weather or feed sparingly in inclement conditions.
