chocolateeclaire Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Hi, Despite numerous searches I cant find the link to the recipes that other people have used to make their own pecking blocks. Mine loved the one I brought but would like to have a go at making my own. Thanks - Claire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Cut and pasted from another forum You will need a stick of some sort, garden cane works well, cut a piece of cane and drill a hole near one end for hanging it up. Next collect the ingredients you want to add, mixed corn, pellets etc. Crack a fresh egg into a bowl, mix the egg with a few dessert spoons of flour & a drop of water. So that it forms a runny paste. Cut a long wide piece of kitchen tin foil. Then in the bowl that you have the mixed egg & flour, add the mixed corn etc, mix it all up so the mixed corn & pellets start to stick together. Give it a good mix so that everything is coated. Spoon the mix onto the tin foil to make a long sausage shape, you can add the stick through the middle at this stage. Then wrap the foil around the ingredients and press firmly so it sticks together to form a sausage like shape. Then put it in the oven at 120 degrees for an hour to let it dry out slowly. Check it's hard, if not leave a bit longer then let it cool and let the birds test it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
