The birds love this food so much, it's hard to keep on hand!

3 lb. yellow corn meal
1 lb. grease (can be bacon drippings, butter, lard, Crisco, etc.)
1 lb. peanut butter
2 c. corn syrup (white)

Mix together and put in covered container. Store in refrigerator. We have about an 18 x 4 x 4 in which we drilled holes 1 1/2 inch deep and 1 1/2 inch in diameter, 4 to a side with a peg under each. During the winter we fill it at least once a day and all kinds of birds are there continually.
