Suet blocks are a tried-and-tested high energy food for garden birds. Suet blocks can be placed on a flat surface like a bird table, but really they’re best fed from a suet block bird feeder which is designed for the job. A suet block feeder like this one allows birds such as Blue tit, Coal tit, Great tit, Long tailed tit, Starling, Great spotted woodpecker and Nuthatch to cling to the cage and chip away at the suet inside.
The flat surface of this suet cake feeder also acts as something of a platform for ground feeding birds such as Robin to use. Blackbirds may also use the feeder in the same way, as they’d be unable to cling to the side of the cage in the way, for example, that a species of tit would.
Suet block feeders can easily be hung from the arm of a bird feeding station or from the branch of a tree. A further option is to hammer a nail into a fence post and hang the suet block bird feeder from this.
We stock a range of suet blocks for this feeder.
