Suet cake for the birdsNever tried one of these before; have had feeders for aeons. Was in the hardware store this morning and noticed them, so bought one and the little cage thing to hang it in; put in the elm tree a few feet from the feeder, and the birds are ignoring it....mobbing the feeder as usual. Does it take a while for them to figure out what it is? I thought with the cold weather coming that it would be a good idea...any of you ever used suet cakes? Did it take a while for the birds to use it?

Sorry Eileen, I can't help. I don't encourage birds into my garden with me having so many cats! Hopefully, someone here will have experience of suet feeders.. |

Thanks anyway, Fran! Living in the City on a busy main street there aren't too many free-roaming cats in the neighgborhood, and mine are indoors, so a safe haven for the birds, greedy little gobblers! Onyx, the little black stray that I'm feeding lives so to speak in my side yard very near the feeder, but have never seen her around it.... |

I expect Kazz will be able to answer your query when she's on here next Eileen........ Maybe as it's new, it will take them a while to get used to it.....  |

Yep Kazz is here hang a suet feeder up and STAND BACK is my advice - mine was mobbed by so many starlingsI had to stop putting it upseriously 70-80+ starling and half as many again sparrows they adore them. But cost me a fortune topping them up had to stop though not throughthe cost but because I thought the neighbours would complain with the bird poo as it looked like the Alfred Hitchcock film the birds out the back.

Now that is a funny story, Kazz! Mine is only about two feet away from the feeder and has been completely ignored! Guess as Moli says, will take them a while to decide there are goodies in that thing!! Will keep you posted! |
