How to Create Bird Seed Patties
- 1). In a large saucepan, heat the water to boiling, then add the oats. Stir constantly for 3 minutes or until very thick. Remove from heat.
- 2). Stir in the peanut butter and shortening until melted. Add the remaining four ingredients and mix completely. Allow the mixture to cool.
- 3). Shape the birdseed into large patties, one handful at a time. The recipe should make at least 12 patties. Refrigerate until hard.
- 4). Store the patties in resealable storage bags, and they can be frozen as well. Throw out one patty at a time for the birds to feed on.
