Lol, I just wanted to make that exact comment 😂. I had to eventually throw away the food before it began to rot. I had it up there for at least 10 days without ever seeing a bird
Yes, I spotted that handsome stone retaining wall in the background. Having built a dozen or so dry-laid (no mortar) stone walls, I appreciate both the beauty and their utility!
Would you use the gelatin for wood peckers or suet as well as other ingredients? Great video. I have indoor cats as well as a dog and the wild birds and squirrels would make great outdoor TV for the winter months.
@@susanbedard1280 woodpeckers enjoy these for sure! When we lived in Northern Ontario they were very hard at -20C but woodpeckers just chipped away. I think it is easier to just feed suet on its own. You can make suet seed logs but it is a bit messy compared to gelatin. True that woodpeckers LOVE suet though.
Doug, this is one of the best DIY suet/seed/log/block videos I have seen on youtube and I've watched dozens. I'm a big time birder and field biologist. This is great stuff. Do more of these if you make any other DIY bird feeding things!
do you really think feeding birds necessary? I read some articles about feeding caused birds to enter mating earlier and as a result, there is no insects yet for their chicks so chicks can't survive.
@@Claudia-bo5vf It’s not necessary for their survival. They did fine for millions of years without humans putting out food for them. It’s just something for humans to do to enjoy nature.
I guess having their natural environment sadly being swallowed up year by year, it’s becoming so much harder for them to find their own food ( especially during the wintertime) . I think feeding them could be essential for their survival in certain urban areas .
Birds are like people....as soon as someone starts making something delicious, they start milling around in excited anticipation. These birds trust this sweet man. I bet they would love to perch on his shoulder.
I loved watching and learning to make these seedlogs. I was entranced at all the birds flying around and eating with him standing right there. I hope I can get some of the birds out here in Texas to do this
This is the most beautiful, instructive, well done video. And the ambiance of all the grateful recipients all flittering around and enjoying their meals. It’s like a little bird restaurant there! ☺️☺️❤️❤️ Definitely can tell you’re an instructor/teacher.
How many people had to play this video over and over again??? I'm sorry, but I didn't take note of a single thing that was said or done - I just couldn't take my eyes off the beautiful happy little birds. Guess I'll have to watch it AGAIN🤣😂🐦🐦🐦
Love how you setup your video. Having your "target audience" in the background shows how happy they are for your efforts. Please consider recording an hour or more of a "Nature Scape," A lot of us play those videos on our tvs as background. Thank you!
@@waynecoons9695 - Good question, so I looked it up. I'm in NC. "Some people believe that gelatin melts in hot weather, but there is no scientific evidence to support this claim. Gelatin is a stable protein that does not melt in hot weather."
I made my 1st batch yesterday and used plastic containers from Chinese takeout the rectangular shape and some square suet plastic. Thanks for your input I'll try the wreath next time until I can get the items needed for the seed log. 🙂
I absolutely love this! You must have been a teacher; you explain the process so well. I cannot wait to do this with my granddaughter. Thank you so much!
@@ourniche I thought the same thing! "I bet he's a retired teacher." ☺ Here's my question: Where are the squirrels? I'm afraid I have more squirrels than birds. 😡
As a Cub Scout den leader I had the kiddos spread peanut butter on pinecones and roll in seed. The birds devoured those instantly. This makes a longer lasting treat. Of course the birds and squirrels in my yard will enjoy these as well. Very nice video.
Yes - that is a great way to make very effective little treats to attract birds!!!! On a larger scale it would be pretty expensive and time consuming to use peanut butter to roll 10 cups of seeds onto hundreds (?) of pinecones :-)
At last a DIY person who is well organized and not waffling on about everything else but the subject, well done you have a beautiful garden, thankyou for your time to do this for us
I watch your video with astonishment and great respect, I really like your garden and bird feeder. I also like to feed birds in the winter and I like watching them, but I've never seen anything like it - the atmosphere in your garden is beautiful and very nice, It is obvious that you love those birds and it is quite obvious that they love you and your garden and your food as well. It's very inspiring to me. Good job, Mr. Fraser, greetings from Slovakia.
Good morning Doug!! Make us another video! This one was fantastic. I am going to watch it again. Plus, I already sent it to my sisters. We are all in our 70’s.
Thanks for wonderful bird video and lesson on making seed logs plus those glorious moments when the birds were all perched and waiting for their treats on the light line and then you moved and they all flew up in their glory; very exciting. Mary Ann, Chicago.
If you make them with agar then everything is plant-based (well plant and algae which is not a true plant haha). Gelatin of course is an animal-derived protein so that is why I do also make them with agar.
@@veganc5028 I had a great tomahawk steak today. Gonna have another tomorrow, just for you. You should thank me, as I saved some of your food. One cow can eat a lot!! Now, where did I put that damn steak sauce!?
I just got done making my seed logs and I now know why you make them outside. That gelatin has to be the worst smelling thing,lol. I will mix my next batch outside for sure!! Thanks for the video.
You are without a doubt the silver daddy to the garden bird community: The shear number of feathered friends, fluttering behind you, whilst mixing up your seed log treat, was delightful to watch. A tiered rockery has more character than a lawn, good for birds to find insects as well.
Great job. I went out directly to Home Depot and picked up 4" PVC, dowel rod , jute twine and a couple of bags of bird seed. Can't wait to make some of these bird feeder logs. My 91 year old mother in law loves to watch the birds. This will definitely be great.
Yes I wish he was my neighbour too. My neighbour has tried all sorts of methods to prevent me feeding the birds from reporting me to the Environmental Dept to using crow bangers and setting up Larson traps etc. He and his wife make my life a misery but hey I’m still feeding the birds and they are still coming into my garden and singing to me. They have Karma coming to them🤷♀️🧤🇮🇪

So I think I will make some of these so my indoor kitties can watch the birds and so the birds have food for the winter. Thanks sooo much for the share.
What a beautiful video! Gives us all hope of what the near future will bring.

Simple - great directions and love all the birds in your backyard! We have generations of sparrows which I know many people do not care for. They are born on the front porch and live in our honeysuckle bush and never leave. They would love this especially in our cold Iowa winters plus it would make our woodpeckers that visit very happy! Thanks!
birds help keep bug populations down too, and their songs are so cheering. i put on bird song youtube videos in the winter when i am shut in the house...a bit of spring!
Absolutely brilliant video! These gorgeous birds are flying about and having a fine meal while you show us how you make your lovely cakes. You must be a science teacher with your pupils in the background devouring your well crafted recipe while us students in the audience clap and sing. I’ve come back to watch and I have you know I’m making this for my peeps in Bonnie Scotland using your recipe and quality instructions on how to!! Yep! Yep! God bless you sir! Make more videos please!!!
What a quality content! I am going to make these! Very smart idea with zero waste left behind. Love the birds in backround reacting to you smashing the pot.
@ I have made around 10 logs, some of them using lard, some of them using lard mixed with gellatine. So far one has failed after just a few days, probably the same thing happened to them as has happened to you. I am thinking about using a thicker yarn because I have a feeling my failed due to the yarn beeing too thin and cutting through the log like a knife.
@ Hi, do you put your mix in the plastic net wrapper? From what Ive heard thats not recommended, because some birds might get stuck in it. About the oven, do you turn it on, when you put your logs into it? Or do you just let them sit in there, because its dry? I hope I found a solution to my logs falling apart. I put a paper straw into the middle and then I run the string through it. I hope it spreads out the force of the string to a larger surface. So far it works.
Love these definitely gonna try them ,looks easier than the way i have been doing it ,plus love the large size ,your garden is amazing, never seen so many happy birds,thankyou for the useful tips julie x
Wow! Super cool!!! Thank you so much for sharing this video. What a great way to feed the birds without having an actual bird feeder!!!! God bless you!!!
Doug; great job on the video, even with the challenge of rain. My wife and I are in Cornwall, Ontario, Canada. We Followed your directions to the letter. Had a difficult time getting log out of the ABS, but used a soup can to push it out with some tapping on the top. The song birds went nuts for it and devoured the entire log in a half a day. (Half a dozen birds at a time, lol). Enjoyed both your presentation and the results. Thanks.
Thank you so much, the black capped chickadees, downy and pileated woodpeckers, Canada jays, and the occasional deer all love your seed log idea here in Bergland, On.
I've been experimenting with a 'seed brick' and lard for years. I bow to the master, logs and gelatin is bird feeding architecture.... it's a 'eureka' moment...it's the FUTURE!!! I will be including dried mealworms.

he is an idiot!
The fact that this man would go through all that, in order to feed the birds, amazes me. His kindness is very evident.
we just got with pepper 2 at the bird feed store for 25 bucks. will make my own from no on.
Those birds absolutely love you. I have to step up my game
Love this guy, his ideas, his acceptance of the weather, his backyard, his jacket and all his feathered friends.
You have a beautiful yard! I can imagine how nice it would be to sit there in the morning with your coffee and watch your birds.
I am so jealous lol
True enough. But let's face it. If he has such a well manicured garden, he probably doesn't sit and enjoy very often.
Yes, I spotted that handsome stone retaining wall in the background. Having built a dozen or so dry-laid (no mortar) stone walls, I appreciate both the beauty and their utility!
It’s kindness like this that helps keep me going.
How adorable is this guy?!?
Would you use the gelatin for wood peckers or suet as well as other ingredients? Great video. I have indoor cats as well as a dog and the wild birds and squirrels would make great outdoor TV for the winter months.

I guess having their natural environment sadly being swallowed up year by year, it’s becoming so much harder for them to find their own food ( especially during the wintertime) . I think feeding them could be essential for their survival in certain urban areas .
I use beef fat for mine. I wish you would give you the formula like how much seed to how much gelatin.
Birds are like people....as soon as someone starts making something delicious, they start milling around in excited anticipation. These birds trust this sweet man. I bet they would love to perch on his shoulder.

Go to 6:16 for the recipe:
- 10 cups of seeds
- 2 heaping teaspoons gelatin (or agar, if you don’t use animals)
- 2 cups boiling water (just under)

Will the gelatin melt in the summer, here in South Carolina?

I make my own suet blocks but it never occurred to me to make logs -- and I've never heard of using the plain gelatin! Great way to do it!
Hello how’re you doing?
I’ve also seen this same process and then packed into Bundt pans. Then you can hang them as a wreath
I am going to try that.
I made my 1st batch yesterday and used plastic containers from Chinese takeout the rectangular shape and some square suet plastic. Thanks for your input I'll try the wreath next time until I can get the items needed for the seed log. 🙂

So far one has failed after just a few days, probably the same thing happened to them as has happened to you. I am thinking about using a thicker yarn because I have a feeling my failed due to the yarn beeing too thin and cutting through the log like a knife.
@ Hi, do you put your mix in the plastic net wrapper? From what Ive heard thats not recommended, because some birds might get stuck in it.
About the oven, do you turn it on, when you put your logs into it? Or do you just let them sit in there, because its dry?
I hope I found a solution to my logs falling apart. I put a paper straw into the middle and then I run the string through it. I hope it spreads out the force of the string to a larger surface. So far it works.
