Got Suet?

Suet is a high energy formulation of animal fat
and other ingredients to attract insect eating birds.
It supplies a quick source of heat and energy for birds,
who's metabolisms are set on fast forward.
It traditionally has been used as a good substitute
for the insects that birds usually feed upon
but are not plentiful in cold weather.

These pictures remind me of the 'milk commercial'
where everyone displays a milk mustache...
hence the bird's display the 'suet' mustache.


Most suets are made of 3 main ingredients:
FAT + CORNMEAL + PEANUT BUTTER
Throw in a few nuts, seeds and dried fruits and
you have a delightful delicious treat for the birds.
Let's ask the birds what they think....

Mr. Red belly give me your thoughts on this suet.

Jalynn, You ARE the man!! Fresh suet.


I just can't wait to taste it


I'll just stick my beak right into that yummy stuff!



mmmmmm Now! That's what I call sweet


I'm so lucky to live in this neighborhood...



Hey! you other birds, come taste this for yourself!


It is simply.... Deeevine!


Thank you Red Belly, I think I will try some..

You're right Mr. Red Belly, this stuff sticks to your ribs...


and it sticks to your beak...



Maybe I can rub some off on the side of the tree....
Hey! Guys move on over it's my turn to try some..

I hate to show you how it's done....but dainty bites will
keep it off your beak...

See.. no mustache for me.


AAA Chooo! Oh excuse me I didn't mean to spit
on anyone....
