Your questions answered
Suet is one of the most calorie-rich foods you can offer. It gives birds a quick energy boost when insects are scarce.
Suet is a good high-energy food for birds. In warm weather it softens and spoils more quickly, so put out only what birds will finish in a day or two and remove any that looks soft or mouldy.
See the Difference™ cakes and tub cakes go in a suet cake feeder. Chunky Dumplings™ and Buggy Dumplings™ are fat balls for a fat ball feeder. Suet Grains™ suit a seed or peanut feeder with large ports.
No. Serve it in a suet feeder rather than on a table, tray or the ground. That keeps it cleaner and stops rats and other animals taking it. Always remove fat balls from any plastic netting first.
Clean your feeders once a week. Tip out old food, wash every part in hot soapy water or a bird-safe disinfectant, then rinse and let it dry before refilling. Weekly cleaning helps stop the spread of trichomonosis, a disease that passes quickly between finches at shared feeders.
