Bring More Birds To Your Yard This Fall With This Easy Pine Cone Hack
By ELYSE HAUSER
Peanut butter is high in calories, which makes it an excellent food source for birds. A natural pine cone is an easy and biodegradable way to deliver it.
Start by gathering a large, untreated pine cone (or a few) with an open pattern, natural string or twine, peanut butter, a plate, and some birdseed.
Cut and tie the string to the top of the pine cone so you can hang it. Spread peanut butter over the pine cone with a butter knife, then roll it in birdseed on a plate.
You can hang these feeders within view of a window, from a tree or bush near your house, or from an existing bird feeder, since birds will already know to look for food there.
