As cooler temperatures settle in and winter approaches, backyard birds need extra energy to stay warm and active. One simple way to give them a boost is by adding suet to your bird feeding setup.
Suet is a high-energy food that provides birds with concentrated calories, making it especially helpful during the colder months when birds are using more energy to maintain their body temperature. It can attract a variety of backyard favorites, including Woodpeckers, Chickadees, Titmice, Nuthatches, and Wrens.
There are many types of suet available, and offering different varieties can help attract even more feathered visitors to your backyard. Some suet cakes contain seeds, nuts, fruit, or insects. Different ingredients can appeal to different birds, making it worthwhile to try more than one kind.
As winter gets closer, consider adding suet to your feeders and giving your backyard birds a little extra fuel for the season ahead. Whether you’re new to feeding suet or looking to try something new, we have a variety of suet, feeders, and other bird-feeding essentials to help attract the beautiful, feathered visitors to your backyard!
