Lovely post and photos–I like the unique log. And posturing birds remind me of humans, haha.

plain suet is just fine. Sometimes we use that too in a larger cage.

The suet sandwich is a hard plastic feeder that has a thin slot for suet. It is more like the crevices in trees that woodpeckers, chickadees, nuthatches and creepers would get into for larvae. Because of that, it’s a great feeder to keep raccoons from stealing all your suet.

So cool!

I love that feeder, too -I think I’d like to put something like that in my own yard!

My suet feeder is a big wire cage that has plain old suet from the grocery store meat case. Is plain suet OK? I put out a fresh hunk every week. The woodpeckers, flickers and chickadees dig in everyday.

Oh, that makes sense now! When you posted the pic on Twitter, I kept thinking, “What are they looking at?”
