The whole idea of this interesting and creative idea came from a very creative and interesting website:

Empress of Dirt - Melissa J Will

The primary base is: Peanut Butter

Peanut butter offers a good dose of fat which provides our fast paced little friends with abundant energy for their active lives and fuel to keep them warm.

It also has the added advantage of serving up an abundant supply of protein.

But like all oils whether it's found in animal fat or in peanut butter it must be served with care to prevent it from turning rancid as this could make our avian friends sick.
