What can we do to help the birds?
![Page 13: LITTLE SCHOOLS’ BIRD WATCH 16 – 30 January 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816628550346895dd985ba/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Make a bird feeder!(Make the birds happy!)
You will need:
A small foil caseStringLard
Bird seed
![Page 14: LITTLE SCHOOLS’ BIRD WATCH 16 – 30 January 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816628550346895dd985ba/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
How to make a bird feeder:
1: Make a hole in the foil pie case with a pair of scissors.
2: Tie a knot in some string and thread it through the hole to hang it up with.

3: Cut a thick slice of lard.

4: Pour in some bird seed and mix together for a tasty treat.

5: Now it gets messy! Squish the mixture into the foil case and
chill it in the fridge until it’s firm.

6: It's now ready to hang in your garden or outside a window.
![Page 19: LITTLE SCHOOLS’ BIRD WATCH 16 – 30 January 2012](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081604/56816628550346895dd985ba/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Alternatively, cover a pine cone in lard and roll in bird seeds to make them stick.
Finally tie a string around the top to hang it by.
