Birdfeeders

When a sudden cold storm hits the north, suet bird feeders can be life savers for local birds. If snow is covering much of their food supply, a yard stocked with full suet feeders will be a busy place indeed. Even during spring, summer and fall, suet bird feeders are quite popular. During the warm summer months, either keep the suet feeders in the shade so the suet cakes don’t melt, or purchase the no-melt suet cakes. A real bonus to having year around suet feeders is watching the young birds when they first leave their nests. When the parents are regular visitors to suet bird feeders, the offspring will come for a visit as well. You may see young nuthatches, woodpeckers, chickadees, titmice, etc.
