I found myself with a package of expired pita breads, past date peanut butter, and sunflower seeds from the beginning of the pandemic.  Not wanting to toss any food out, I decided to make some wild bird treats for my feathered friends.

Making bird treats was easy to do, first I cut the pita bread into half.  I spread the peanut butter on each pita half. Then I sprinkled the sunflower seeds on the peanut butter.

I then loaded up my pita snacks into a plastic food storage bin and took a walk behind my house.

It’s a perfect day for a walk in the woods.

Finished Wild Bird Snacks Bird Treat on Log Hanging Bird Treats on Tree Limb

I remember my Mom would always feed the wild birds.

She would take a big tray of food out for the birds and they would all start to follow her and flit around until she put the tray down.

I found the pita bread fit nicely over the branches and the sunflower seeds were held in place by the peanut butter.

I didn’t want all the bird snacks in one area so I continued my walk.

Nicely Hanging Bird Treats Wooded Area

It wasn’t long before, I was out of bird treats and started my short walk home.

On my way out of the woods, who should I see but a large squirrel.  The squirrel was nearing in on the bird snacks.

I just hope he leaves a few snacks for the birds.

Update on 12-12-2020 – I went back into the woods to see if the birds found the bird treats.  Every single bird treat was gone.
