You can get birdseed (I just use the wild birdseed mix, you can make bigger batches for cheaper, and its the same stuff.) and mix 1 packet of unflavored gelatin (Prepare the gelatin first) to 2 cups of birdseed, and let it chill until its clumpy. Then you can shape it into molds, or little balls, and put it in the fridge or freezer to finish solidifying. Finished product needs to be stored in the fridge though, but its good in the freezer for much longer. NOTE: This recipe is best if you plan to use it quickly. do NOT make it in large batches, unless you have a flock of birds!
Thats what I use for wild bird feeders, and occasionally Ill give millie a block.
But here are a few recipies I found on Pinterest too!
Recipe 1 See it on pintrest
Recipe 2 See it on pinterest
Hope this helps ya! Ive tried out the second recipe, and it works amazing! Im going to try it with something other than dates though, Like apricots or plums and see if that works too!

Homemade nutriberries?
Sorry if this has been posted before but I came across this recipe and was wondering if anybody else had made their own nutriberries? How did they go down? Personally, I am not sure how healthy this recipe is: It's impossible to get nutriberries here so I'm always keen on alternatives!

Homemade Nutriberries!
I've been excited to make these ALL WEEK. Was really fun to make although i think I overbaked them so they're a bit hard for my bird. She pecked at some millet then gave up :laughin: I tried to make a small batch since I only have one bird but ended up with around 30 pieces. May feed the...

Another Nutriberries Recipe
I think this one might be it! :D After I first used Ellen's Avicake recipe, it was a hit with Jingo and Koopa, but Gizmo (the real target) was not interested. When I saw that Sparkles had made a similar recipe, but was able to do it without a liquid sweetener, I figured I could give it another...

Thank you for the info @Tina&Mill and @Mizzely !! I knew there'd be recipes somewhere, all I had to do is ask. This certainly gives me a place to start!

No problem!
I just made the recipe that uses the honey and flour, I would reccomend adding either a bit less honey, or a bit more flour before tweaking, Maybe 1/3 or 1/2 cup of flour instead of 1/4
Also, dont wash your hands often, it just wastes the mixture and gets your sink full of seeds and other stuff.
I bet you could make these a more balanced diet if you got a bag of the small pellets, and threw in a few dehydrated fruits, like banana and mango.
