I hope (think) that posting about birds is OK here.
Anyway, there are several birders in my Arizona neighborhood, one of whom calls
herself “BirderGirL” in her email address. Talking to her yesterday, I first
learned of something that might rival the famed “Sullivan Suet” formula.
She buys the cheapest frozen Walmart fatty hamburger, fries it up and freezes
some into separate containers. She then crumbles the burger and feeds it along
with seeds to the birds in her yard.
She is feeding 4 Roadrunners currently, but everything but the hummingbirds
love it. That includes warblers, kinglets, sparrows, Cardinals, thrashers,
woodpeckers, quail, Abert’sTowhees, wrens, etc. Last summer the Roadrunners
even brought their partially grown young to feed on it.
