Feeding suet to garden birds is a fantastic way to support their energy needs, especially during colder months when natural food sources can be scarce. Our suet balls are specially formulated with a high volume of oily maize, offering a superior blend of nutrients that your feathered friends will love. Here’s why our suet balls are not only a treat for birds but an essential part of keeping them healthy all year round.

The Benefits of Feeding Suet to Birds

1. High-Calorie Content for Energy
Suet is an excellent source of high-calorie energy, crucial for birds to maintain their body temperature and health, particularly during winter. Birds expend a lot of energy to stay warm, and suet provides them with the fats they need to survive harsh weather conditions. This is why suet balls are a vital food option in the colder months, offering the energy boost birds need to keep flying, foraging, and staying warm.

2. Helps Birds Maintain a Healthy Weight
The rich, fat content in suet helps birds maintain a healthy weight, especially when food is scarce. Birds can burn through their energy reserves quickly, so having a readily available high-fat food source like suet helps them store up fat for the colder days ahead.

3. Easy to Digest
Our suet balls are designed with bird health and digestion in mind. We use a generous amount of oily maize to help bind the suet together, giving the balls a crumbly texture that’s easier for birds to digest. This not only helps them break down the fats more efficiently but also ensures the suet doesn't harden too much during winter, making it accessible even in freezing conditions.

Why Maize Makes a Difference

1. Crumblier Texture for Easier Feeding
The addition of oily maize in our suet balls plays a key role in creating a crumbly texture, which is gentler on birds' digestive systems. Unlike some suet balls that can harden in the cold, ours remain soft enough for birds to peck at with ease, reducing the risk of them struggling to get the nutrition they need.

2. Keeps Suet from Hardening in Winter
One of the biggest challenges in winter bird feeding is that traditional suet balls can become rock-solid in cold weather. Our use of maize ensures that the suet balls retain a softer texture, preventing them from becoming too hard and making it easier for birds to access the fat and calories they need to stay warm.

Which Birds Will Benefit from Suet?

Our suet balls are a hit with many types of garden birds. Here’s a list of birds that will flock to your feeders when suet is on the menu:

• Tits (blue tits, great tits, long-tailed tits)
• Siskins
• Goldcrests
• Woodpeckers

For ground-feeding birds like robins, blackbirds, wrens, and dunnocks, simply crumble the suet balls on bird tables or scatter them on the ground for them to enjoy.

Versatile Feeding Options

Our suet balls can be used in a variety of ways to suit the birds in your garden. Whether you hang them in feeders for birds like tits and woodpeckers or crumble them up for ground-feeders like robins, you can attract a diverse range of species to your garden. They’re also ideal for year-round feeding, as they provide birds with essential nutrients in both summer and winter.
