Birds ....?

Question

I want to make a bird feeder out of a pine cone. I heard you can cover a pine cone in peanut butter and then role it in bird seeds and they will stick to the peanut butter. But I don't have bird seeds, is there any other human foods birds like that i can put on my bird feeder? Will birds like it if I just cover the pine cone with peanut butter but don't put anything else on it?

Answer 1

I use just plain peanut butter all the time..they stilll love it.  I have also tried putting some cheerios and occassionally bird seed when I have it..but plain peanut butter works too.

Answer 2

Plain peanut butter will be fine or you can roll it in regular oatmeal, not instant.

Answer 3

The best thing would be to let a piece of bread get stale. Once it is stale you can crumble it up and roll your peanutbutter pinecone in the crumbs. The birds will enjoy this very much.
