Homemade Birdseed Cakes ### Ingredients:

2 cups birdseed (feel free to mix and match your feathered friends’ favorites!)
1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup flour (any kind will do, even whole wheat if you’re feeling healthy)
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup vegetable gelatin (or a packet of unflavored gelatin)
Optional: 1/4 cup dried fruit or nuts (for those extra-special birds who appreciate a gourmet touch)
String or twine for hanging

Instructions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the birdseed, cornmeal, and flour. Mix them up well until they’re all best buds.
In a separate bowl, dissolve the gelatin in warm water. Let it cool slightly before adding it to the dry mixture.
Now, stir those two mixtures together until it forms a doughy consistency. If you want to add some dried fruits or nuts, toss them in now for a surprise crunch!
Grease your mold or shape them into fun shapes using cookie cutters. You can also use muffin tins – a birdie buffet!
Make sure to create a hole for the string so our little friends can enjoy their treats hanging in style!
Let the cakes set in the refrigerator for a couple of hours (or until firm) and voilà, you’ve got yourself some tasty birdseed cakes ready for the wild!

Once your cakes are ready, find some fun spots to hang them outside. Your neighborhood birds will be messaging each other about your newfound culinary skills in no time. Enjoy the show and happy birdwatching! 🌼🐦
