You will never buy bird seed again.

Leftover Cereal Recipes

Wild Birds are fond of many types of cereals though stay away from the sugary sweet
ones as they tend to attract pests and the desirable songbirds tend not to like them.
Like all of us, you will find each bird has their own preference in cereals.

Shredded Wheat, Fruit/Nut Cereals
(Raisin Bran), Corn and Bran Flakes,

Puffed Rice and Sugary Cereals

Bread, Cookies, Cakes and Crackers

Stale cookies, bread, cakes and crackers make delicious treats for hungry
songbirds and are easy to prepare.
It is as simple as crumbling up these stale treats and distributing in areas where birds feed.
Spread on the ground or in feeders and white and light colored treats are easiest to spot and
will attract birds quicker. Cookies and Breads with nuts, berries and vegetables are definitely
a nutritious plus for hungry songbirds. A word of caution, these treats absorb moisture quickly
so avoid using in wet weather or feed sparingly in inclement conditions.
