Uh? Suet’s not new! True, but I have to share with you how excited I am about the new varieties of ways we have to feed suet - not only to woodpeckers, but to all of your backyard birds!

 

Suet provides birds with a quick dose of energy. It is a high fat, high protein food that birds will enjoy all year, whether it’s to help them get through nesting season, the activity of the summer, or to help keep them warm in the winter.

 

Woodpeckers have long been Brad & my favorite bird. We have seen every woodpecker possible in Ohio at our many suet cages where we feed all year. We feel privileged to live among the woodpeckers but we had always felt short-changed because we rarely saw other birds at our suet.

 

But with the introduction of Bark Butter last year the myth that only woodpeckers eat suet was blown away! We slathered the Bark Butter on trees & feeders and to our delight witnessed everything from Chickadees to Brown Creepers to Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers enjoying it. Bark Butter attracts a large variety of birds-including those you normally don’t see eating from a feeder!

 

This year we have introduced a Suet Cylinder for our Seed Cylinder Feeders and, Voila, we have those birds that I knew would always eat suet, but were obviously waiting for the Cylinder Feeder to come along! This feeder, that also holds our seed cylinders, mimics a branch - a branch with a base and a cover, making it a natural place for Cardinals, Chickadees, Titmice, Nuthatches, Wrens, Finches, Blue Jays and Woodpeckers to eat from.

 

Suet in any form is good, suet in all forms is even better! Stop by this month and we’ll show you what you have been missing!
