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.
