I wonder if you could get the butchers to give you a hunk of pork BEFORE they cut it into bacon. You could maybe carve out some lard from that. ALSO I've seen the lard sold in chunck to feed certain birds. I wonder if a pet store could direct you to somewhere you could get that. Just so long as they haven't added seeds to it already it MIGHT work. My mom used to get the lard from the store and chop off a hunk to roll in seeds (warm it up first and they'll stick) and hang in the net on the tree for the birds. Then she'd use the rest for cooking.
