12-31-25 In response to Bluebird feeder discussion. I have a cage feed with 1x1.5 openings and the bluebirds easily enter( along with others) and the larger birds try from the edges. I have found a wonderful ‘food’. I call it ‘Zuet' since the formula comes from Julie Zickefoose:
Melt in microwave and stir together:
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup lard ( cooking oil)
Mix in large bowl:
2 cups chick starter(unmedicated)
2 cups quick oats
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 cup flour
Add melted to dry and mix well
C’est tout!! Ernie, Colchester
