How to make your own fat balls for garden birds

If you aren't sure how to make your own fat balls for garden birds, our Communications Officer, Jenny and her son, Oscar are here to show you how! Suet products like fat balls are fantastic to feed garden birds during winter. They're full of calories which will give your feathered friends the energy they need to survive through the colder months. Just make sure that the lard you use is raw lard or suet rather than used cooking fat, as this is bad for birds and can get stuck in their feathers. Happy fat ball-making!
