GARDEN GATE: Episode 305 – Suet & Seed Cylinders! (November 8, 2024)

Suet, seed cakes and cylinders are a great feeding option for the colder months. Birds really love the quick energy boost they get from suet, peanuts and sunflower seeds! There are six different kinds of our premium suet from Mill Creek. They have only the best ingredients that birds love, including mealworms and fruit! Suet is usually fed in small square cages. Some of these cages have a tail prop on the bottom. This really helps the birds, especially the woodpeckers, stay on your feeders longer as they use their tails to prop themselves up on them. Our new seed cakes are made to also fit in suet cages. The seed cylinders are 3lbs of compressed seed that come in four different blends. Birds like nuthatches, woodpeckers, chickadees and blue jays really love clinging on to these feeders. These birds tend to stay longer at these feeders so it’s a great way to get a good look at them!
