The come in a variety of “flavors” to attract different species of birds. Cherry, blueberry, and the everpopular “insect” flavors of bird suet cakes are some of the favorites.
Copper feeders make quite a visual impression in your yard. There are a wide range of copper bird feeders that satisfy a number of needs. You can find copper suet feeders, triple tube bird feeders and more. There are brushed copper feeders that retain their shine over the years, or simple copper finishes that will age to a pleasant patina.
When the pests in the yard start to take over the bird feeder, one fairly effective way to repel the pest can be a caged bird feeder. Caged feeders come in a number of different styles, with the cage surrounding simple tube feeders or a small suet cake. There are some caged feeders that are quite ornate, making an attractive addition to your yard.
Suet bird feeders are a great resource for the backyard birder who is wanting to help their birds get through the tough winter months. Suet is a high energy food source, and keeps well in the cold of winter, making it ideal for helping birds whose warm weather sources of food are hard to find in wintertime.
