I would like to contact a company that sells plastic containers that will hold one, two and three pounds of bird seed that I make into suit cakes. It is a pastime for me as I love watching the birds. Now a lot of my friends have been asking me to make them for thier use and I told them I will if I can find a company to buy the containers from. Can someone help me?

Sarah the warden at The Waters' Edge gave me this recipe for bird cake, which I thought you might find useful if you want to help the birds in your garden out while it's still pretty cold. The snow might be melting here in Barton, but I think the birds would still appreciate a little extra help, and it's fun to make this cake too, so why not do something good today. If you don't get birds in your back garden, or if you don't have a garden atall, you can always give the cake mixture to the wild birds in the Waters' Edge park. There are lots of different ingredients you can put into making bird cake, but bird cake must always have suet or lard in it to make it set. If you are using suet, meat suet is better than vegetable suet. Ok, so first problem there folks, the shop didn't have any lard, so I used 'I can't believe it's not butter'. Sarah says that's ok, but it won't set. But I figured the birds probably wouldn't complain too much.
