Suet for Winter Bird Feeding

Feed the birds… they’re hungry!

Especially during the winter months, backyard birds need your consistent generosity to survive the colder months. To attract the most birds, it’s best to start filling your bird feeders in early autumn– before the birds establish their winter feeding routine. Place bird feeders at sites where birds are known to visit and shelter. In all seasons, wild birds are especially attracted to water for drinking and bathing. In winter, a heated birdbath can encourage birds to stick around your feeders. Many people find bird feeding to be an enjoyable hobby and an excellent way to interact with nature. Birds can certainly benefit from a well-tended feeding station, too. 

Along with bird seed, high-energy suet should be included in a cold weather, bird buffet. The Mr. Bird brand offers seed/suet cylinders in many seed blends… easy to refill and long-lasting. C&S suet cakes are made with energy-rich rendered beef suet & in many flavors. Give both brands a try and let the birds decide their favorites!

MR. BIRD’s CYLINDER FEEDERS: Extremely easy to use with seed cylinder refills.

Simply, slide the Mr. Bird Seed Cylinder refill onto the sturdy steel Feeder and hang. Your backyard birds will love it! Birds are not limited to a few seed ports, so it is common to see many birds at once on this feeder. Large bottom rings allow non-clinging birds to eat, too.
