I'm sorry but there's no other way to say it, and you're the people who refer to them as fat balls. So I'm pleading not guilty.
Coming into Autumn here, thank goodness. With so little rain, and therefore little food.
Was thinking about getting an automatic feeder - cost a mint, but the chooks should be able to learn to stand on the plate and open it? You'd think so. And apparently other birds don't weigh enough to do that. Except perhaps the crows, the really big magpie's, maybe the kookaburra's as well if they get too hungry. So I may not actually save money on chook food when you think about it. But I'm willing to try.
However, I plan to put out some food for the birds as I feel terrible when they are all sitting around the chook house waiting for me in the mornings. About a hundred or so.
And I thought about the Fat Balls I hear you talk about for birds.
So how do you make Fat Balls? And keep the smutty remarks to yerselfs!
And how do you hang them up? I'm thinking I usually hang things by string or wire but that could be nasty for the birds if they swallowed it.
So technical all this stuff
