Instructions

    • 1

      Break off any small twigs sticking out of the stick so the surface is mostly smooth.

    • 2

      Tie a string securely around the stick. Find a temporary place to hang the stick while you prepare it for your bird, such as the knob of a kitchen cabinet.

    • 3

      Spread peanut butter over the stick, leaving spaces for the birds to perch without getting their feet sticky.

    • 4

      Pour birdseed into a bowl and dip the peanut butter-covered stick into the birdseed until it is completely covered.

    • 5

      Hang the treat stick in your bird's cage or outside on a tree, depending on the intended recipient of the treat.
