Two parts. You use the fat from sausage or bacon. Pour liquefied grease in a container that can handle the heat. I just use plastic Tupperware bowl. Pour in the seed to the same level as the oil. Let sit to cool and solidify. I usually put the mixture in the refrigerator. I use a suet holder or just sit on the feeder. The fat provides calories for the birds. Seed they like but an abundance is needed to fulfill the caloric intake they need during the winter. It's cold and no fat bugs to eat. Uses a lot of energy to keep warm.

Best part, you do not dump the oil in your drain that can cause blockage over time. Much like our arteries we dump the bacon into.

Two parts.

Optional part three.
Put string in the mould so you can hang them up outside.

Eh, we got to set fire to the White House thirty years later, so it's not so bad.

Good idea as well. The indigenous birds to my area like the suet blocks.

Ours love suet blocks too, it's recommended not to use vegetable oil though since it can cause problems with their feathers.

I have only used bacon grease. Does vegetable oil solidify?

Don't worry about the fat AVG, I think you still look great in a thong....

Unsure, never tried it, but it's one of the advisories on the RSPBs site apparently, for people who make their own blocks. I imagine it does eventually, but would probably take a lot longer than bacon grease does.

I guess it does. I always seen my mom use bacon grease and that is what I have used. Never really thought about other greases to use. Thanks for the heads up!

Vegetable oil won't solidify unless it's hydrogenated like Crisco.
