My brother asked me the other day why I ordered so much suet and I told him because we are selling so much suet. Customers are buying cases and storing them in the freezer.
.
Besides the usual woodpeckers, nuthatches, titmice and chickadees, you may attract orioles, wrens, warblers and more with suet during the spring and summer.
.
Lots of birds need that high energy food during migration, nesting and raising young. And the reason I feed suet in the summer is to watch as harried parent birds bring their babies up close and try to convince them to feed themselves.
.
Suet cakes commercially prepared are safe for year round feeding. If your feeder is hung out in the sun use suet dough with a higher melting point or seed cakes available at Wild Birds Unlimited. .
I have lots more on order! I'm trying to keep enough in stock. Thanks for the good question.
