Hello Patricia Goodwin The same for myself I enjoy feeding the birds and having a cup of coffee early early morning. Live well, Love much, laugh much. Thank you for the Great Comment Hillbilly
I liked the sturgis tin hanging on your wall…be going touring this summer with good friends. You could sell your bird feeders and suet there 😊 we camp at HOG HAVEN for the last 20 years.
My husband makes the log feeder also and we have the best collection of woodpeckers around. Nuthatches and finches as well as other small songbirds like it too but unfortunately so do Starlings. I didn't make suet for a while and the Starlings left (yay!) We don't have perches so only birds who cling to bark can use it. The platform feeders we have are squirrels feeders too. We gift the log suet feeders to friends and family but I find most aren't willing to put up with the mess. We add sunflower hearts and mealworms to our mix. It gets expensive but the birlds love it❤
You are welcome Sharon.Thank you for watching Stay tune for more videos on leather working and other projects that I do indoors, and in the early spring I will be making some videos on making bird houses and feedersHave a Great Day and pay it forwardHillbilly
Not sure what it is, but I could watch this dude tinker in his shed all day. Great vid man. I noticed some comments about the peanut butter, salt, blablabla....totally correct. The salt is bad. The solution is super simple. Buy peanuts and make peanut butter. Just blend them buggers till they're peanut butter. Seriously. Cool bird houses bro! Gonna go check out some more of your vids! 👍🏻
Hello James Starke Thank you so much for the great comment! I also hope you got I chance to watch more of my videos *Ya after that video was posted I have changed to a non salt Peanut butter* I do make my own Peanut butter now with just raw peanuts I really enjoy making those Bird feeders and Houses I am making about 15 Different styles now. *Please take a few minutes and check us out* _I have too many hobbies and am always doing something different_ *Please Remember To Share, Give Thumbs Up* _And Click on the Bell for Future Notifications_ *Then check in from Time to Time Because* *I am Currently working On a New Website* _And hoping to have up and going in the Near Future_ *Also see Us On* FaceBook - facebook.com/HillbillyDesigns Instagram - instagram.com/cahillbillydesigns Pinterest - www.pinterest.com/cahillbillydesigns Google Plus+ - plus.google.com/u/0/+HillBillyDesigns "Teach what you know.....

Hello Alex C Thank you for watching and the comment. That is an Awesome Idea!

One thing the sand does is helps them digest their food. They have a craw & a craw requires sand to grind their food up. They have to have sand/dirt & wild birds have plenty around, but that is a nice thing to put it in their food also. I was wondering if bacon grease has a lot of salt in it. You probably already know if you melt the grease & peanut butter in a sauce pan & pour over the dry goods it's easier. If you prefer doing it dry I apologize, I was just saying. LOL Judie
You are right, Judy, Judy, Judy. The bacon fat is NOT good for the birds because of the salt AND nitrates, etc. Most peanut butter also has salt and other bad additives, so use natural peanut butter or simply unsalted chopped up peanuts.

Thank You Joshua Katt I am Hoping to do some videos on how to make bird feeders and houses from old dead and down trees/Logs but at this time of the year I wound need to shovel the snow off of the logs and its to cold out side. Thank you for Watching and Commenting Hillbilly
That house is awesome, I'm gonna make one also!! What do you use for the screen/wire you use in the suet feeder? OMG your things you have built are so unique & nice, I'm going to make some too!!!! So creative you are!! Now I see why you make your suet dry!!! I'm sorry I jumped the gun, if I don't make my comments when I see the thing I want to comment on, I forget (old age you know) What do you use to drill those big holes? Thanks for showing us!!!! LOL Judie
Thank you HitchhikerI just use 1/4" x 1/4" chicken wire from home depot or Lowes just a large Boring bit again from home depot or Lowes please be careful to make sure you mount your project real secure when drill with the large boring bits
Hello Jeanne Carney Most of my feeders I hang from a wire that makes it harder for the squirrels to get to, were I live we use to have a lot of squirrels but about 5 or 6 years ago something happen not sure what it was sicken plaque not sure. so I pull a strong wire from one tree to another then hang the feeder from the wire make sure it is high enough so people can not get hurt, I still get a bear or Raccoons ever now and then that will break the wire or help them self. I am hoping to make more videos in the spring of how I make the feeders, and houses, thank you for inquiring about the feeders. Hillbilly
Hello Pat Farina. I thought I would ask if you could share the homemade Recipe that you use? I really do not care for the suet's that are in the markets because, I have try them and my birds just do not seem to try a likening to it. Waste of Money just my opinion! I am always looking for new Recipes, I spend alot of time feeds my birds. I also make Feeders/ Houses from natural items Logs that are dead and down and many other things I need to do videos on them it just that it is winter time here and I only make them in the early spring so if you are interested please stay tuned in a few months I will do some video on how I make them. Hillbilly
This is a great video. Worth the time to watch!!! Wrote all the recipes down! I’m off to buy the ingredients! I’ll just grind up my peanuts in my Ninja. Fresh peanut butter! Question: how do you keep the squirrels from taking over the feeders?
Love your Homemade bird feeders, great!!! and you suet feed..❤😊

I use an old crock pot and melt the peanut butter and lard. Then mix seed.
If I was born a bird I'd be moving to your backyard! Bird resort.
Thank you for watching robwas !

Great job and thanks for making this video
Thank you Rick Tagg
Buy 1 or 2 of the store bought suet for $1.25 at dollar store and reuse the plastic containers for your own recipe suet
Love your feeders!

great. can not wait to see more.
Thank You
I like that u dnt heat ur butter oil
Coconut oil is great and healthy for the birds. Rendered beef fat also.
I find the coconut oil melts the suets in our summer drought…so when I do use coconut oil I use it during our cool season weather.
Did not see any videos on building the bird feeders
No Salt in Suets !
UnSalted Only !
That house is awesome, I'm gonna make one also!! What do you use for the screen/wire you use in the suet feeder? OMG your things you have built are so unique & nice, I'm going to make some too!!!! So creative you are!! Now I see why you make your suet dry!!!

Please, do not use bacon lard. The preservatives are bad for people and birds. Otherwise, excellent eats for birdies :)
Hello - Would coconut oil or regular lard be a good substitute for the bacon lard ? thanks.
what do you do bout squirrels and your feeders?
Hello Jeanne Carney Most of my feeders I hang from a wire that makes it harder for the squirrels to get to, were I live we use to have a lot of squirrels but about 5 or 6 years ago something happen not sure what it was sicken plaque not sure. so I pull a strong wire from one tree to another then hang the feeder from the wire make sure it is high enough so people can not get hurt, I still get a bear or Raccoons ever now and then that will break the wire or help them self.

I read that peanut butter is not good for birds because of the salt contents.
Lots of salt in peanut butter. Almost 1200 mg/cup.
TONS of salt in bacon grease!! And nitrates.
Thank You for the information and it will be considered Hillbilly
You're welcome!😊
