This one stopped by for breakfast and took a few bites. Grabbed a different suet at menards. 5 bucks for a 10 pak. Will see if they like it much.

You have a menu available for them!?          Nice pic!

nutty butter has always brought them in so I am guessing that's what it was looking for. this is wildlife science woodpecker suet.  we will see. flying squirrels left it alone for 2 nights so that's good.

Sure are lotsa critters like that nut butter. Bet if ya marketed it as "Bird Breakfast Butter"  ya could sell jars for $10 a pop.

I have a hard time deciding whether to use the cheap suet cakes or the more expensive ones... I wonder what the difference is.

I will know in a few days if I am taking 3 boxes back.   bought 4 it was so cheap.

If you get a deer this year save the fat for the birds.  One year I had two cakes out then shot a deer and put the fat out and they quit eating the cakes and ate only the venison fat.  They also love fat trimmings off of a brisket.

And I had the exact opposite experience. I but venny tallow in one feeder and beef suet in another. They way better liked the beef suet.

here also. I have put the deer fat out a few times over the years and a couple downys check it out but that's it and I end up chucking it after a month or so.

Wow I'm surprised to hear that. I haven't bought suet cakes in about ten years now. Chickadee, nuthatch, jays and woodpeckers make it disappear here.
