Make a bird seed mixture that you can mold into just about any shape for a treat the birds!
Ingredients:
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup water
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
3 tbsp. corn syrup
4 cups birdseed
You’ll also need:
Assorted cookie cutters/molds
Nonstick Spray
Drinking Straws
Waxed Paper
Twine/ Ribbon
Mix flour, water, gelatin and corn syrup in a large mixing bowl. Stir until well-combined.
Stir in birdseed, coating the seed with the flour mixture.
Spray cookie cutters/molds with nonstick spray. Spoon the birdseed mixture into each mold, making it flat as possible on top, pressing down with the back of a spoon. Using a drinking straw, poke a hole through the center near the top of each birdseed mold, making sure it goes all the way through.
Leave the birdseed mixture inside the molds for 2 - 3 hours. Remove the birdseed mixture from the molds and gently place them upside down on the waxed paper. Allow them to continue to dry overnight.
Using twine or ribbon, carefully put it through the hole on each treat, tie and hang on a tree branch!
