Good to know!

You have probably seen the post circulating Facebook encouraging the use of cooking grease for feeding the birds. We have heard from many of you asking if it is safe. We are coming to you today, to ask you to help us stop this unsafe practice by sharing this post.

Birds should only be offered rendered suet. Rendered suet won't turn rancid or melt as quickly in hot weather. Soft fats and oils can get transferred onto the bird's feathers and interfere with their ability to utilize them for insulation and flight. Salt, as would be found in most cooking grease, is bad for birds for birds.

According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, "bacon drippings are animal fat just like suet, and many birds will eat it. But bacon virtually always has detectable amounts of nitrosamines, carcinogenic compounds formed from some of the preservatives used in bacon. In particular, the very high cooking temperatures used to fry bacon are conducive to nitrosamine formation. So despite the fact that birds love it, bacon and bacon fat pose too much of a risk to the long-term health of birds to warrant using it."

PLEASE do not feed the birds used cooking grease. We hope this helps bring clarification and that you will help us spread the word.
