I have never heard of using the fat to make them but another way and a more prettier and taseful way is to take a paper cup or whatever shape u plan on using and coat it in layers of honey letting each layer dry of course then after u have coats of honey going layer it with birdseed or whatever kinds of bird food u are using. Now u want to keep a spray bottle by u filled with Hot water, butter, and honey... after u have the seeds on it spray it then keep adding seeds soon u will have this big ball of seeds and if u use a cup then the out side will be nice and coated while the inside nice and clean... lay it on a cookie sheet and bak it on 250 to 300 degrees for and 15 mins but keep an eye on it when its done let it cool then tie a bow threw the center of the cup and it will look very pretty and be so tasty to any bird eating it:)... u can also us peanut butter and u can also use foil instead of the paper cup this way u can shape the foil to any shape u want such as a star or heart or christmas tree for that matter :) Have fun and good luck its a messy but fun project!How would you make a bird ball feeder with suet/beef fat/ pork fat?
Great response, but can we please (!) use the full form of ';you'; not ';u'; when writing responses? It is very irksome to read.

I love the idea of butter and honey ball, but the instructions are difficult to follow - I got lost after ';inside nice and clan'; Ar ewe coating a paper cup with honey and seeds on the outside? If yes - how do we get a ball? Confused....

yes, there are many other ways too. if you dont want to make them, you can simply buy them premade.
The easy way is to use one of those mesh onion bags from the market - just clip one end to get the onions out, fill it with suet, and hang from a tree.
