FEED THE BIRDS
1 cup suet (ask for it in the meat department of your grocery store)
1 cup peanut butter
3 1/2 cups cornmeal
3 large pinecones
3 12 inch pieces string or ribbon
small amount birdseed
Melt the suet in a saucepan over medium heat on the stove. Add the
peanut butter to the suet, stirring until it's melted and blended in
with the suet. Then take the saucepan off the stove.
Add the cornmeal to the mixture and blend until it looks like dough.
When the dough has cooled, use a spoon or your fingers to pack the
dough into the openings of pinecones. Roll the dough-covered
pinecones in birdseed.
Tie a string or ribbon around each of the pinecones, leaving one end
long enough to tie onto a tree branch. Hang your seed ball bird
treats outside and watch your hungry feathered friends eat like a bird!
Late at night when you're in bed, Mr. Owl perks up his head. He looks left and he looks right, In the dark all through the night. Hear him hoot when you're in bed, When Mr. Owl perks up his head.

Lovebirds are small parakeets who live in pairs. Male and female lovebirds look alike, but most other male birds have brighter colors than the females.
