Pine Cone Feeders!

While on vacation at the Outer Banks earlier this month, I stumbled upon some pretty awesome pine cones while hiking. They were huge! As soon as I saw them I thought to myself that I needed to figure out a way for Merlin's Bark Products to use the pine cones. After giving it some thought, I think I came up with a nifty idea for them. Just yesterday I starting using them to make some Seedy Peanut Butter Pine Cone Feeders. Okay, truth be told, I wasn't the one making the pine cone feeders. Even though I am the CEO, I am not allowed to get into the peanut butter. Something about my fur getting all sticky with peanut butter and how disgusting that would be. Oh, and something about the fact that the peanut butter probably would somehow be diverted into my tummy and not onto the pine cones....

Anyhow, the pine cones are being transformed into tasty treats for the birds and squirrels. They are getting a nice slathering of extra crunchy peanut and then are being rolled in sunflower, cracked corn, and other types of bird feed. We hung one of the pine cone feeders on our oak tree last night as a tester. And I must say that the birds seemed to be very pleased with the end result. I sure wouldn't have minded getting a lick or two on the pine cone myself!

Our Seedy Peanut Butter Pine Cone Feeders will be one of the many products Merlin's Bark Products will have available for sale at the 2nd Annual Rachel’s Sustainable Feast next Sunday. I hope everyone plans on stopping by our tent and checking out our products. Until then, I'll be barking to you later!
