recommends high quality
Attractor Suet - the
best suet in the world, and we believe the best suet for
woodpeckers! Some of you may not be
familiar with suet or may not understand the difference between
our preferred suet and what you might see at your local bird or
discount grocery store. We have all the information you
need right here.
What is suet?
Why feed suet to birds?
When should you offer
suet?
What birds can
I attract with suet?
What is suet?
Beef suet is typically beef or pork fat that is found around the
kidney or loin area of an animal. Vegetable suet is
another form of suet that can be derived from pure, refined
vegetable fat. Suet is one of the most highly concentrated
energy foods you can offer wild birds.
Suet from either of the above sources, and in this form, is a
very nutritional source of energy. Suet provides vitamins,
minerals, and even
electrolytes which are critically important to the health of
wild birds.
Why feed suet to birds?
Birds have a high energy consumption rate due to high
metabolisms, and it is not uncommon for a bird to eat up to 30%
of it’s own body weight in food, per day. Due to its high
protein and calorie levels, suet offers birds a high burst of
energy in a concentrated form.

When should you offer
suet?
You should offer suet to your wild birds all year round because
they need it all year round! Suet gives birds the energy
required to see them though spring
nesting, breeding, rearing of
young, and it arms birds against the cold winter months. Suet
will also be one of the first foods to be fed to
fledglings.
Depending on food availability, suet can be of critical
importance during the long, cold winter months when insects and
other natural high protein foods become difficult to find, or if
food becomes scarce for other reasons. Suet consumption
may fall off a bit during the warmer months, but wild birds will
consume suet all year round, regardless of the temperature.
A point to remember – it
takes a bird around two weeks to locate a suitable food source.
Once found, the bird will frequently return to this location.
If that food source is removed, the bird may then take another
two weeks to locate an alternative place of sustenance.
This could prove to be particularly harmful as the bird may
become too weak and undernourished to survive.

What birds can
I attract with suet?

attract birds of the following species or similar families:
Robins, blackbirds, blue jays, cardinals, woodpeckers,
nuthatches, chickadees, martins, warblers, finches, crossbills,
