FAQs

What types of birds are these suet pellets best for?

These pellets are excellent for a wide range of garden birds, particularly those with softer beaks or mouths, such as robins, blackbirds, and starlings. However, many other common garden birds will also enjoy them.

Can I feed these pellets all year round?

Yes, these suet pellets are designed to provide a high-energy food source suitable for feeding throughout the year.

How should I store the suet pellets?

Store in a cool, dry place, ensuring the packaging is sealed tightly after opening to maintain freshness and prevent moisture from affecting the pellets.

What are the main ingredients?

The pellets are made with a selection of high protein ingredients, including insects, along with essential blends of proteins, fats, and minerals.

Are these pellets suitable for baby birds?

The high protein content makes them a beneficial supplementary food source that can support adult birds providing for chicks, especially during the breeding season.

Can I put these pellets out on a bird table?

Yes, bird tables are a suitable place to offer these suet pellets, either spread out or in a specific feeder designed for pellets.

What makes these pellets different from other suet products?

Their key difference is the soft, moist texture, making them easier for soft-billed birds to eat compared to harder suet balls or blocks, and the inclusion of insect protein.

Troubleshooting

Birds not eating the suet pellets

Ensure the pellets are fresh and have not become stale or moldy. Check that the feeder is clean and accessible. Birds may also be hesitant if a new food type is introduced; try mixing with a familiar food initially.

Pellets sticking together

This can happen in very warm or humid weather. If severe, try to keep the storage area cool. Once in the feeder, birds should still be able to peck them apart.

Attracting unwanted visitors (e.g., squirrels, rats)

Use feeders designed to deter larger animals, such as squirrel-proof feeders. Avoid leaving large amounts of food out overnight. Clean up any spilled food from the ground regularly.
