Should I Feed Suet to My Birds Year Round?

Birdwatching in your garden is a joy, and feeding your feathered friends adds to the fun! But you might be wondering: should you offer suet all year long? Let’s dive into the delightful world of suet and see if it’s a year-round treat for your garden birds.

Why Suet is Super!

  1. Energy Powerhouse: Suet is like a high-energy snack bar for birds, packed with fat and calories. It’s especially handy during breeding season and migration times.
  2. Bird Magnet: Suet cakes attract a variety of birds, from woodpeckers to wrens, turning your garden into a bustling bird party.
  3. Winter Warmer: In chilly months, suet is a lifesaver, providing the essential energy birds need when other food sources are frozen or scarce.

Tips for Year-Round Suet Fun

  1. Watch the Weather: When the temperature soars, switch to no-melt suet or reduce the amount to avoid spoilage.
  2. Clean Feeder Fun: Keep suet feeders clean and fresh to prevent mold and bacteria from crashing the party.
  3. Variety is the Spice of Life: Along with suet, offer seeds, fruits, and fresh water to keep your birdie buffet diverse and delicious.

Feeding suet all year round can be a birdie bonanza if done right. With the right suet and a bit of care, you can keep your feathered friends flocking to your garden in every season. So, go ahead and treat your birds to some suet-y goodness—happy bird feeding!
