Homemade Bird Food

Find Your Recipe for Bird Watching Success



A few minutes in the kitchen can become hours of bird watching fun. Take birding to another level by creating unique dishes especially for backyard birds. Feed your favorite visitors the foods that they crave—fruit, nuts, seeds, and suet—but prepare them yourself! This creative cookbook by Adele Porter turns bird food into a banana split, cupcake, pie, and even tree ornaments. Each dish is perfect to tackle alone or with the whole family. Children especially will enjoy helping you put together these visually appealing treats. The ingredients are designed to attract up to 74 different bird species, from hummingbirds to orioles and even “hard-to-get” birds in your area.



The beautifully designed, full-color book includes 26 recipes, along with tips on selecting the right ingredients for the right birds. A handy chart shows which types of birds dine on each dish, so you can make the best foods to attract the birds that you want to see. As an added bonus, you’ll find tips for cooking with kids, wildlife research projects, a bird-identification section, and more!
