    The fat balls or seed first frost comes along then they use the seed they use the other birds are not daft they will go for the peanuts first like wise most of the peanuts first frost comes along then they will go for the other birds will eat the first.
    The other birds will eat the first blue tts go for the fat balls as emergency rations.

    Don’t use shop bought fat balls, make your own, the birds in my garden love my home made stuff.

    Put peanuts and mixed poultry corn in a blender and grind it up, put that in a margarine carton then pour over and mix it up with some melted unsalted lard, put it in the fridge to set then fix the carton to a fence panel or wall and sit back and watch the birds.

    When was the last time YOU ate a ball of pure fat? Birds are no different from you. Most will not eat pure fat.
