Benefits of a squirrel busting suet feeder
Quality Nutrition for your Backyard Birds
Offering best quality suet year round provides an accessible, high energy food source for wild birds. Especially at times when they need it most: nesting season and during winter or inclement weather. Plus, you’ll get the added bonus of seeing new parents introducing their offspring to the joy of this tasty, nutritious treat. All suet is not created equal!!! Find out why you need to offer only fresh, quality suet. See our Seeds and Suets page for more info.
Convenience for You
To begin with, suet itself is pretty convenient. If you want to add a suet feeder to your backyard, it’s a great choice for two very good reasons: Wild birds love suet and suet can be a very affordable and convenient option for you.
Here’s why choosing this particular suet feeder may be your BEST choice.
- This feeder holds TWO 5 x 5 suet cakes, which means you can:
- Offer TWO flavors of suet.
- Feed TWICE as many birds!
- Go longer between re-filling.
Simple Maintenance
Refilling is simple.
Secondly, this suet feeder is even easier to refill & maintain. You may find any suet feeder simple to keep filled, but the Squirrel Busting Suet Feeder is amazingly easy to refill. Not just because you’ll need to refill it less often, but because it is infinitely less messy to do. Bonus: You never have to touch the suet at all. (However, the birds wouldn’t mind even if you did!)
Less effort for you – by design.
The squirrel proof suet feeder also has another feature that means less maintenance and cleaning for you: The lower tier serves as a Crumb Port. The tray will catch any loose bits from your more enthusiastic diners and offer a second chance for feeding. As a result, there’s more nutrition for your backyard birds and less food on the ground to attract unwanted guests. This is efficiency by design!
Easy to monitor for refills.
And it’s easy to tell at a glance when you need to refill the suet. As birds feed, the bright yellow suet holders slowly drop. When they reach the bottom, it’s time to refill! It’s that simple! All by design.
Protection
Third and best reason of all, protection! The unique design and construction provides protection from:
- Squirrels
- Weather erosion
- SQUIRRELS!
- Larger birds. An excellent design feature! You can adjust the weight-sensitive spring (EASY!) to protect your suet from the ‘heavier with heartier appetites’ birds, should you choose to do so.
- LOTS OF SQUIRRELS! Namely, Red Squirrels, Gray Squirrels, Fox Squirrels and Douglas Squirrels. If you live in Brevard, NC, this list should also include White Squirrels.
