Some of the typical suggestions for feeding bird life as forwarded by the Scout office, according to Scout Executive H. J. Homann, are: Nail suet on trees near a limb or nail high on poles with a cleat under it so that the bird can stand while eating. Get your neighbors to help throw bread crumbs, toast grain, green vegetables, near their home in a spot r-otected from the north wind if possible.

Put sand and fine gravel out on a board. Birds need this.
