Bird Cookie Treats

Bird Cookie Treats, I Found this file a while back but I can not find the real sender to thank them for a great little animal gift tutorial. Now would be  good time to make this easy little treat for the little birds who are looking for food on these cold winter days.

You will need:

4 cups bird seed
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons of corn syrup
mix flour, water, and syrup together in a measuring cup.
Then added that to the bowl of bird seed.
Stir well coating all of the bird seed.
1. Press bird seed mixture into the heart shape or what ever U have on hand. But make sure you place on a wax paper. And spray the cutter with Pam (again use what you have) Press spoonfuls of the mixture into the heart shape with the back of the spoon. Place a straw in where ever you want a hole to hang from. Then lift up and off the cookie cutter carefully. Spraying the cookie cutter with cooking spray makes it slide right off.
To dry them, place the bird cookies in the oven on the lowest setting(170 degrees) for an hour. Flipping them over about half way through, or let them air dry.
Many thanks for to the person(s) who wrote this up.
