This is a great holiday gift for your feather friends. Will attract woodpeckers,chickadees,titmouse,nuthatches,mockingbirds. I've also added fresh or dried berries to the mixture. Make as much as you want just remember to keep it chilled because it will go rancid. Get the kids involved so they can make for gifts or a girl or boy scout project.
