Birdseed Biscuit

My kids love making this cute bird feeder. We have a tree right outside my toddler’s window where we can sit and watch a variety of birds come to feed!

You will need:

  • 3/4 cup of birdseed
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • Water
  • Cookie cutter
  • Oil
  • Foil
  • Cookie sheet
  • Straw
  • Ribbon
Easy instructions:
  1. Our recipe makes two 3-inch biscuits (one is shown here) or a single 4-inch biscuit. Mix together the birdseed, flour, and 2 tablespoons of water.
  2. Spray or wipe a cookie cutter with oil and place it on a foil-covered cookie sheet. Pack the mixture into the cutter, inserting half a straw near the top to create a hole for hanging.
  3. Bake the biscuit (with the straw) in a 170ยบ oven until the biscuit is hard, about one hour. Let it cool.
  4. Remove the straw, thread a ribbon through the hole, and hang it outside in a sheltered spot.
What type of birds do you have in your neighborhood?
