Feeding birds with suet offers several benefits, especially during the colder months. First, suet provides birds with a highly concentrated source of fat and protein, helping them generate the energy they need to stay warm and active in winter. Unlike regular seed or nuts, suet lasts longer on the feeder, as birds peck at it more slowly, meaning fewer refills are needed. Additionally, suet feeders are easier to manage—there’s no scooping or spilling—just swap in a new suet cake and you’re good to go. It’s a simple, efficient way to support your feathered friends when they need it most.
