That’s a fantastic and eco-friendly solution! By using rolled oats to absorb the fat, you’re preventing the possibility of clogged pipes, which can be a real problem when grease and fat are poured down the drain. Instead, you’re creating a food source for local wildlife, especially birds, who will appreciate the extra nourishment, especially in colder months.
Here are a few additional tips to consider when using this method:
1.Oats and Other Additives: While rolled oats are great, you can also add other grains or seeds (like sunflower seeds) to make it even more appealing to a variety of birds. Just make sure they are plain and free of additives like sugar or salt, which aren’t healthy for the birds.
2.Let the Fat Cool: Be sure to allow the fat to cool slightly before adding it to the oats. Hot fat might be too intense for the birds or could cause the oats to become too mushy.
3.Properly Distribute:
