For an even better bird treat, ask an adult to help you find and buy a kind of fat called suet at the grocery store, near the fruit and vegetables. With an adult's help, melt the suet over low heat in a double boiler on the stove. Remove it from the heat and let it cool. As the suet starts to harden again, stick peanuts or seeds into the suet. When it cools, put the suet mixture in a mesh bag and hang it up outside.
Fruits are a great high-sugar winter treat for birds.
They appreciate apples, pears, oranges, grapes, bananas and raisins. You can put these on a platform bird feeder, if you have one. Or find a long stick and put the pieces of fruit on like a big shish-kebab. Or string cranberries, using a needle and thread. Hang the berry string outside in the trees.
