Ingredients

MEDIUM SIZED DRIED
OPEN PINE CONE
1/3 cup(s) peanut butter or bark butter
2/3 cup(s) cornmeal
WILD BIRD SEED MIX
WIRE

Steps:

To make the bark butter, use a food processor or blender to combine the suet, peanut butter, and cornmeal. You can also add other ingredients, such as dried fruit or nuts.
Spread the bark butter onto the pinecone, making sure to get it into all the crevices. You can also roll the pinecone in birdseed to help it stick.
Hang the pinecone bird feeder in a tree or other location where birds can easily access it.
Be sure to check the bird feeder regularly and refill it with seed and bark butter as needed.

Conclusion:

Pinecone bird feeders are a fun and easy way to attract birds to your yard. They are also a great way to use up leftover pinecones and birdseed. By following these tips, you can make a pinecone bird feeder that will be enjoyed by birds of all kinds.
