I'm going to have to get some of this stuff...or make some Zick Dough. I've not done it yet, but I see so many posts on how the birds love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat birdies enjoying your bark butter. Wonderful photos. I have to check out this Zick dough. I have bought the bark butter and the birds do love it.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely visitors you have! You have inspired me to make some Zick Dough. I can't wait to see what birds the dough attracts. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check into this Bark Butter. With the cold weather and finally melting snow the birds are emptying two feeders daily. Nice group of visitors in your images.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize you could just stick it onto a tree. I must try that!
ReplyDeleteIts a great way to attract some beautiful birds such as you have done here Dawn.
ReplyDeleteThat pine warbler is beautiful. I will have to try this!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Bark Butter before. I've got to make some of this stuff! Looks like the birds are enjoying it for sure.
ReplyDeleteYeah Dawnie! Thanks for spreading the word about the Bark Butter. We sometimes get accused of selling "bird crack" and Bark Butter really is good...stuff!
ReplyDeleteExcellent, I especially like the Sapsuckers!!
ReplyDeleteI have some bark butter sitting in my cupboard. You've definitely inspired me to put some on the trees along with the Zick Dough that's already out! Great images!
ReplyDeleteGreat Photo's Dawn!
ReplyDeleteSweet birds! I've always wanted to make and market my own version of Bark Butter and call it Log Jam. Ha ha.
ReplyDeleteGreat collection of bark butter birds Dawn! As soon as I can get some of the unadulterated chick starter, I'm on it. Can this stuff be made into blocks for suet feeders?
ReplyDeleteThanks Friends for your kind comments..the birds sure do love this stuff...I use both Bark butter from the Wild Birds Unlimited store and make my own.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made Zicks improved version yet..but don't plan on feeding this to the birds for long periods of time.
It certainly does attract the birds...I roll up a chunk in my hands to get it warm then push it into the bark.
Larry..it can be made into blocks..depending how the consistency is..you can play around with the ingredients..I have made blocks and balls.
Happy Birding!
What great pictures! I wish I could get that close.. I scare all my birdies away when I open my door.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sicksta..get some bark butter or make some...I take the pics from inside the Homey.
