Archive for the 'Suet Bird Feeders' Category
Sunflower seeds are an undeniable delicacy in the winged world as proven by the fact that birds will flutter from acres around just to indulge in the bite-sized morsels. Bird seed is also among the most convenient of foods to buy as it can be found in bulk at most farm supply stores. Still, this mainstay of the bird diet isn’t exactly the be-all, end-all. If you’d like to diversify you backyard birding portfolio by bringing in a few new specimens, try upgrading to suet.
To you and me, suet doesn’t seem like the most appealing dish in the world. To a woodpecker, nuthatch or chickadee, however, it’s one of the most heavenly concoctions ever devised. Suet is really a glorified term for a block of rendered fat that may feature a few additions such as seeds and peanut butter. Suet bird feeders resemble a small cage, which can be loaded with a brick of suet and left for the birds to enjoy.
